Description: Vintage black and white photoengraving published in 1897 after an earlier engraving or photograph. Photoengraving printing was an interesting process used starting in the late 19th Century which involved generating an image photographically, but printed with ink on paper rather than with photosensitive material. This process could be completed a number of way, but the basics involved chromated gelatin, which would harden in exposed areas creating surface variations matching the tones in the image. From this a mould would be created for printing with a printing press, as with engravings and etchings. It was also referred to as Photomechanical printing. The process was only used for a few decades before being supplanted by offset lithography. However, offset lithograph cannot match the print quality of Photoengraving prints. This beautiful print was created by photographing an existing wood engraving or photograph to creating the Photoengraving plates. The print's lower left corner provides the original copyright date. Sheet size: 14 x 10 inches.
