Zuni Pueblo Indian Village New MexicoPhotogravure1927 By E. O. Hoppe #2

Photogravure was developed in the late nineteenth century as an image making method more permanent. There was a growing need to reproduce photographic images in books and other publications. The photogravure, which was printed with ink on rag paper, provided a continuous range of tones, greatly improving on letterpress, the existing method of reproducing photographs for publication. Although used primarily as a reproduction method, the process attracted the attention of many photographers who manipulated their plates to give special artistic effects to their prints. Originally revered by traditional photographers for its deep shadow areas, velvety middle tones and delicate highlights, a handful of artists are now adapting the process to a number of creative translations of the original negative, such as multi-plate color printing. In addition to the practically infinite variety of darkroom techniques that are available, the process allows for significant innovative handwork in both plate-making and printing. Skilled photographer/printmakers can thus celebrate the century-old ideal of combining art and craft while producing stunning contemporary work.
