Vintage Photoengravings Auction
Photoengraving is a photomechanical process that evolved from a marriage between traditional relief printmaking, etching, and photography. In this process the continuous tones of a photograph or image were translated into dots through a series of actions. The inadequacies of the human eye allow us to optically blend these dots back into their continuous tone giving the illusion of tonal variation. This photoengraving sale boasts some of the most significant names in photography, as well as their distinguished models. Be mesmerized by an iconic portrait of Patti Smith, or enjoy a unique shot by Man Ray. Whether you seek a familiar face or a dramatic composition, these engravings are sure to transfix you with their unique views of decades past.
