Modern Masters of Etching

L C Rosenburg

This is a fabulous collection of original, hand-tipped-in photogravures of etchings which were created for Modern Masters of Etching, The Studio Collection.

​​

The photogravure plates were printed by Waterlow and Sons,  London. 

​

The 33 volume series was published between 1925 and 1932 and included volumes on Dame Laura Knight, Whistler, Frank Brangwyn, Alphonse Legros,  and Ernest Stephen Lumsden amongst others.

​​

The  photogravures  are mounted onto heavy cream stock paper and each completed sheet is 30cm x 24.5cm.  Individual photogravures vary in size. 

​

You can now choose to have your prints mounted and backed by foamcore, ready for framing or gift giving. 

 Photogravure is an intaglio printmaking or photo-mechanical process where a copper plate is coated with a light-sensitive gelatin tissue which had been exposed to a film positive, and then etched, resulting in a high quality intaglio print that can reproduce the detail and continuous tones of a photograph. It is no longer commonly practiced.
