A photographic image produced from an engraving plate, which gives it an art quality of a lithograph. The process was developed in the 1850s but is rarely used today because of the high cost.

"process of engraving by photography," 1869, from photo- + gravure, from grave (v.) + -ure.

A printmaking process in which a photographic negative is transferred onto a copper plate. Related: Grayson Perry. Map of an Englishman. 2004

A modern stamp-printing process that is a form of intaglio printing. Plates are made photographically and chemically, rather than by hand engraving a die and transferring it to a plate. The ink in thi [..]

An illustration or print made from an image etched or engraved on a metal plate or cylinder by any one of several photomechanical processes (see this example, courtesy of the Library of Congress). Als [..]

(see Gravure) a printing process where the image is etched into the plate cylinder. The main advantage of this method of printing is the high speed, long run capability. Used mainly for mail order and [..]

A photomechanical intaglio ink printing process capable of rapid, high-quality reproduction of photographs preserving detail and tone on paper.

A photomechanical printing process very similar to intaglio. A copper plate is coated with a light sensitive gelatin, put in contact with a positive photographic transparency and exposed to light. After a wash the hardened gelatin that remains is on the plate is the negative image used to print the photogravures. The plate is inked and put through [..]

method of printing photographs from an etched copper plate.

An innovative method promoted in the late 19th century, it is making hard-copy images or prints with light sensitive gelatin from photographs with the result being an image composed of fine lines rath [..]

Developed in the 1830s by Henry Fox Talbot, photogravure is an intaglio printmaking process in which an image is transferred to a flat, etched copper plate, hand-inked and printed.

A process using a bichromated gelatin tissue on a copper plate. The exposed and selectively hardened layer controls the penetration of an etching solution, so that the printing plate is etched to diff [..]

An intaglio process in which a photographic image is etched into a copper plate and then printed on dampened paper. Photogravures are archival and have an infinite range of tonal values. Works by Chuc [..]

An archivally permanent way of reproducing a photographic image because of its high quality, excellent details and sensitive tones. It was also used for original fine art prints and photo reproduction [..]

a photograph made with a copper plate that creates a similar affect as a Platinum Print. It can be identified by an embossed edge and a grainy, pitted effect in the gray tones.
