Photogravures from the 1800’s In the 19th and 20th centuries innovative practitioners searched for and perfected a method to produce identical photographic prints in ink. The process came to be called photogravure. These yielded some of the most beautiful photographs ever made—featuring delicate highlights, lush blacks, a remarkably rich tonal range, and a velvety matte surface. Etched by Light: Photogravures from the Collection, 1840–1940 tells the story of the first 100 years of this process. The Gebbie Prints Collection consists of etchings of European paintings. In the left corner of severalprints, "Pinx" refers to the Latin "pinxit" (he or she painted it) and is printed after the name of the artist/engraver. The subject matter features 19th c. Neo-Classical themes and depict figures in Classical andMiddle Eastern garb. Many of the prints in the collection are by distinguished engravers from Goupil etCie, a leading art dealership formed in Paris in 1850.
