Typically, engaged girls wear the cap of fake flowers until they are married, so everyone knows they are engaged. The photographer of the image is Dr. Martin Hürlimann.\n\n\u003cp\u003e Period Paper is pleased to offer an exceptional collection of historic original photogravures of various European landscapes, architecture, and people. The actual border around the photogravure is slightly larger than what is shown in the digital image and includes a caption. However, we wanted to show you the actual image up close and the dimensions provided next to \"Size\" indicate the size of the actual photogravure only. These original photogravures are not to be confused with the more common halftone prints. Each of these photogravures was created from an engraved plate and provides exceptional detail, contrast, warmth, and depth, making them excellent original images for framing.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Photogravure Process.\u003c\/b\u003e A photogravure is a photographic image produced from an engraving plate --an expensive and rarely used process today. 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 thaen 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 68+ year old Item is rated Near Mint \/ Very Fine+.
