Photogravure, an intaglio process developed between 1850 and 1880, was one of the first successful techniques for editioning photographic images. Its tonal and archival qualities are so superb that even after it had been supplanted by more commercially viable processes in the early 20th century, photographers such as Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Curtis, and Paul Strand selected it to edition some of their most important works. This class covers the process from original photograph to printed plate. Prior knowledge of printmaking and photography is helpful, but not required.
