A photogravure is the most sophisticated of the photomechanical printing processes. The image isn't made in a darkroom. Rather, the photographer's negative is transferred onto a copper plate, which is used to print or engrave the image with ink. Photogravures have a very sensual, almost velvety quality, and were far superior to alternative photomechanical processes of the time.
Vintage Photogravures are very collectible and a way to enjoy vintage photography.
