Photogravures and Heliogravures
Antique photogravures and heliogravures
Photogravure and heliogravure use photographic processes to reproduce a drawing or painting with exceptional fidelity, a technique Charles Amand-Durand made his specialty in Paris. This selection spans 1773 to 1910 and includes Abraham and the Three Angels after Van Leyden, the Nativity after Dürer, and a portrait after Gainsborough by Hanfstaengl.
The category interests collectors seeking accurate period reproductions of Old Master drawings. Every piece is an original period impression, with a technical description and exact measurements.
