photogravure
Intaglio image process
Photogravure is a printmaking process that transfers a photographic image onto a copper plate for intaglio printing.
The technique produces rich tonal range and fine detail, prized for art reproductions and high-quality book illustrations.
The term also refers to a print made by this process: The museum's collection includes several photogravures by Edward Steichen.
