Photogravure

Photogravure is an intaglio printmaking process initially developed in the 1830s by Henry Fox Talbot in England and Nicéphore Niépce in France. These early images were among the first photographs, pre-dating daguerreotypes and the later wet-collodian photographic processes. Photogravure in its mature form was developed in 1878 by Czech painter Karel Klíč (Karel Klitsch, 1841–1926). This process, the one still in use today, is called the Talbot-Klič process. Photogravure was developed to provide an archivally permanent way of reproducing a photographic image. Because of its high quality and richness, photogravure was used for both original fine art prints and for photo-reproduction of works from other media such as paintings. Photogravure is distinguished from rotogravure in that photogravure uses a flat copperplate etched rather deeply and printed by hand, while in rotogravure, as the name implies, a rotary cylinder is only lightly etched, and it is a factory printing process for newspapers, magazines, and packaging. Due to an unfortunate confusion of terms, searches for "photogravure" on the web often turn up industrial machinery designed for rotogravure. In France the correct term for photogravure is héliogravure, while the French term photogravure refers to any photo-based etching technique.
