This is an authentic (NOT a modern reprint) vintage 1955 photogravure made from the original negative/print created by the renown photographers Rudolf Lehnert & Ernst
Landrock in the early 1920's. This famous photographic duo who worked out of Cairo, Egypt,
produced imagery in the early 1900's which was internationally
collected and sought after. In romantic images they recorded the people
and traditions of countries like Tunisia, Egypt and Algeria. They were
well known for their images of the Ouled Nail, an Arab tribe whose
women earned their dowries performing as geisha for rich patrons. Their
photographs, which were particularly popular in the West, included many
nude studies which gave a highly exotic (and erotic) view of an Arabia
based largely around the allure of the harem, the desert and the oases.
Most vintage Lehnert & Landrock material is small (postcard size) -
work of this size is scarce. Today their extraordinary vintage work is
held in numerous important museums and collections worldwide.
This photogravure is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed Gallery Certified CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered serial number from the Finephoto Archive & Database. Under magnification this plate shows a tight "honeycomb" cell structure, uniform pressing of ink and a wide range of tone - all indicative of a high quality sheet fed gravure plate.
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.
HOLOGRAM CERTIFIED: Each vintage artwork comes with a fully authenticated gallery certified Certificate Of Authenticity. This COA contains a unique serial number and small corresponding tamper proof hologram with matching serial number affixed to the backside of the print with archival adhesive. Our exclusive authentication system and the ensuing COA/Hologram not only provides our clients with essential peace of mind but, adds value to the print in the future by providing provenance and the original gallery authenticity guarantee documents.
ABOUT PHOTOGRAVURE: Photogravure is an intaglio print making 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 renowned photographic masters have published their images in the rich photogravure process.
