Photogravure is a photomechanical process. i.e. the prints are made using a printing press. It can produce high quality prints in large quantities. The process is derived from Talbot's photoglyphic engraving, but was not invented until much later. It was invented in 1879 by the Austrian printer, Karel Klic (1841-1926).The photogravure process is generally highly regarded, being able to produce high quality copies, with the images with charcoal blacks and bright whites, embedded in the fibres of the paper. Results using rich sepia ink can also be very attractive. Photogravure images have been described as having the subtlety of a photograph and the art quality of a lithograph. The finished picture shows the mark of the plate around the picture.
