FINE PHOTO GALLERIES is pleased to offer an authentic, genuine (NOT a computer scanned reprint ) vintage 1935 photogravure (also known as héliogravure print) produced from the original negative/print of Philadelphia photographer William Rittase. Renown for his masterful industrial images and an occasional nude study, Rittase was a significant deco era artist now considered an important American modernist. His work was included in the 1930 Harvard Society for Contemporary Art exhibition, along with works by Weston, Sheeler, Evan, Bruehl, Bourke-White and others. That exhibition is considered by many to be the genesis of the Museum of Modern Art. His photographs today are sought after by collectors and command significant prices. William Rittase died in 1968. This sheet fed photogravure print was printed in quality photogravure by the highly regarded Beck Engraving Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Whether you collect vintage photogravure prints or are simply looking for extraordinary home or business decor, this atmospheric photogravure will frame and display beautifully! This photogravure plate is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered serial number from the Finephoto Vintage Archive & Database. Under magnification this plate shows a tight "honeycomb" grid, uniform pressing of ink and a wide range of tone - all indicative of a high quality sheet fed gravure print. The watermark word "Finephoto" does not appear on the actual print.   READY FOR FRAMING & DISPLAY! - The expensive engraved copper plate photogravure process and the resulting fine prints make vintage photogravures highly collectible and excellent vintage prints for framing. Your vintage print will arrive ready to be placed directly into a standard size frame. ABOUT PHOTOGRAVURE:  Photogravure (or héliogravure) is an intaglio printmaking process utilizing a carefully etched copper plate made from the original negative/image. Prints are made by pressing suitable paper heavily down upon the inked copper plate which has been intricately etched to varying depths corresponding with the actual tonality of the original negative, This precisely etched plate combined with a fine "honeycomb" screen controls the amount of ink to be transferred to the paper at any given point in direct proportion to the variation of tone in the original image. The result is a true continuous tone print which combines many qualities of a traditional silver based photograph with a tactile feel similar to an etching, engraving or lithograph. Rich in tonal detail, the photogravure process produces delicately rendered shades for a look which is unique in the world of photographic print making. In the early to mid 1900's photogravure was selected (when budgets allowed) for special high quality publishing and portfolio projects, but due to its significant expense and labor, the process is rarely seen today. From Man Ray and Ruth Bernhard to Brett Weston and Ansel Adams, many of the world's most renown photographic masters have published their images in the rich photogravure process. ***WARNING: The above listing description is COPYRIGHT protected material under United States & International Copyright & Intellectual Property laws.
