Photogravure is part of the long-standing tradition of intaglio printmaking, a process in which images are created from recessed lines etched into a plate. This method, which dates back centuries, includes techniques such as engraving, etching, and aquatint—approaches used by some of the most influential artists in history, including Rembrandt, Alfred Stieglitz, Alvin Coburn, and Irving Penn.
