Newspapers, beginning with \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times,\u003c\/i\u003e were able to make effective use of this technology, and many published regular rotogravure pictorial sections in their publications during the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece was illustrated by De Neuville, Alphonse.

He originally joined the naval school in Lorient, France, but he soon realized that his primary passion was art. After his death, several of his pieces were acquired for the Luxembourg Palace in Paris. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYNY2A12B17C14 zz4334\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Period Paper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38484243857,"sku":"239207_YNY2_077","price":58.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/8371\/products\/YNY2_077_a3d6cb2a-9805-414c-b331-ee4daa905fb5.jpg?v=1571713100","url":"https:\/\/www.periodpaper.com\/products\/1914-rotogravure-alphonse-de-neuville-art-franco-prussian-war-flag-of-truce-yny2-239207-yny2-077","provider":"Period Paper Historic Art LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
