Through the transfer of etching ink from an etched copperplate to special dampened paper run through an etching press, this process creates an image that registers an extraordinary variety of tones. This unique tonal range comes from photogravure's variable depth of etch--the shadows are etched many times deeper than the highlights unlike the halftone processes that merely vary dot size. The prints produced via this process have the subtle tones of a photograph and the art quality of a lithograph, making them extraordinarily collectible items.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 80+ year old Item is rated Near Mint \/ Very Fine+.

Pablo Picasso said of him, \"When Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what color really is.\" Ambroise Vollard, the French art dealer, commissioned Chagall to create \u003ci\u003eThe Bible\u003c\/i\u003e illustrations for the Old Testament (a series that won Chagall much praise), although unfortunately, he passed away before the project saw completion. Chagall could have completed the series in France, but instead traveled to Palestine, and became completely immersed in the history of Jews. He worked obsessively on the series, and traveled to Amsterdam to study the religious paintings of Rembrandt and El Greco. Chagall perceived the Old Testament as a human story, and portrays his characters as such. As Chagall was working on these pieces, the Third Reich was rising to power in Germany, and although the Germans had once swooned over his paintings, the pieces were classified as degenerate art, and destroyed. Chagall was located in France at the time, and in October of 1940, began to see Germany as a threat to his safety. With the help of Alfred Barr of the New York Museum of Modern Art, Chagall's name was added to the list of European artists the United States should try saving. Chagall received a forged United States visa and was able to flee the country in May of 1941 with his unfinished \u003ci\u003eBible\u003c\/i\u003e series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLTX6C66 zz5580\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Period Paper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21132129540,"sku":"240348_LTX6_002","price":224.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/8371\/products\/LTX6_002_78807130-b099-484b-b9a2-fc593835fab8.jpg?v=1571707459"},{"product_id":"1966-ad-crude-oil-tankers-supertanker-tokyo-maru-ishikawajima-harima-ihi-yfm3-235276-yfm3-043","title":"1966 Ad Crude Oil Tankers Supertanker Tokyo Maru Ishikawajima-Harima IHI YFM3","description":"This is an original 1966 two-color print ad for crude oil tankers built by IHI, the Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co.

He worked obsessively on the series, and traveled to Amsterdam to study the religious paintings of Rembrandt and El Greco. Chagall perceived the Old Testament as a human story, and portrays his characters as such. As Chagall was working on these pieces, the Third Reich was rising to power in Germany, and although the Germans had once swooned over his paintings, the pieces were classified as degenerate art, and destroyed. Chagall was located in France at the time, and in October of 1940, began to see Germany as a threat to his safety. With the help of Alfred Barr of the New York Museum of Modern Art, Chagall's name was added to the list of European artists the United States should try saving.

Chagall could have completed the series in France, but instead traveled to Palestine, and became completely immersed in the history of Jews. He worked obsessively on the series, and traveled to Amsterdam to study the religious paintings of Rembrandt and El Greco. Chagall perceived the Old Testament as a human story, and portrays his characters as such. As Chagall was working on these pieces, the Third Reich was rising to power in Germany, and although the Germans had once swooned over his paintings, the pieces were classified as degenerate art, and destroyed. Chagall was located in France at the time, and in October of 1940, began to see Germany as a threat to his safety. With the help of Alfred Barr of the New York Museum of Modern Art, Chagall's name was added to the list of European artists the United States should try saving. Chagall received a forged United States visa and was able to flee the country in May of 1941 with his unfinished \u003ci\u003eBible\u003c\/i\u003e series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLTX6C66 zz5580\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Period Paper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21142466820,"sku":"240352_LTX6_006","price":228.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/8371\/products\/LTX6_006.jpg?v=1571707489"},{"product_id":"1954-cca-sol-mednick-benjamin-franklin-liberty-print-original-024748-cca1-050","title":"1954 CCA Sol Mednick Benjamin Franklin Liberty Print - ORIGINAL CCA1","description":"\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Benjamin Franklin\u003c\/b\u003e on freedom and security (Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759),\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eby Sol Mednick.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an original 1954 color print of advertising art for the Container Corporation of America by artist, Sol Mednick. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp\u003ePeriod Paper is pleased to offer an exclusive collection of color prints of advertising art designed by leading artists for the Container Corporation of America (CCA).
