Books on Photogravure
Before the Web was the book, and those quaint bound things with printed
pages still provide valuable guides, particularly as to photogravure and
related intaglio technique.
H Mills Cartwright, Photogravure (American Photographic Publishing,
Boston, Massachusetts, USA, 1939); detailed technical guide.
Brian Coe and Mark Haworth-Booth, A Guide to Early Photographic
Processes (Victoria and Albert Museum, London, England, 1983); how to
tell the difference between a salt print and a calotype, and much else.
William Crawford, The Keepers of Light (Morgan & Morgan, Dobbs Ferry,
New York, USA, 1979); stories of the numerous varieties of early
photography, with brief technical explanations.
Herbert Denison, A Treatise on Photogravure (facsimile of 1895 edition,
Visual Studies Workshop, Rochester, New York, USA, 1974); superb how-to
manual written in impeccably Victorian English.
Jon Goodman, Pietro Sarto, Malcolm Daniel, and Florian Rodari, Graver La
Lumiere (Fondation William Cuendet & Atelier de Saint-Prex, Lausanne,
Switzerland, 2003); catalog of exhibition held at the Musee Jenisch in
Vevey, Switzerland, with very fine essays (in French) on the unique look
of photogravure etching, with excellent full-page illustrations.
Gary Kolb, Photogravure, A Process Handbook (Southern Illinois
University Press, Carbondale, Illinois, USA, 1986); detailed handbook
combining technical know-how with aesthetic sensitivity.
E S Lumsden, The Art of Etching (J B Lippincott, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, USA, 1929); how to set up an etching atelier and prepare
ink, paper, plate, and press for printing etchings.
Luis Nadeau, Modern Carbon Printing (Atelier Luis Nadeau, New Brunswick,
Canada, 1986); explanation of a closely related technique.
Nancy Newhall, P H Emerson (Aperture, Millerton, New York, USA, 1975);
the story of Peter Henry Emerson's championing of naturalistic
photography, as opposed to the staged (he would say contrived and
maudlin) works of his rivals.
Joseph Pennell, Etchers and Etching (MacMillan, New York, New York, USA,
1929); wonderfully opinionated account of good and bad etching practices
and wrongheaded critics throughout printmaking history, with numerous
examples.
Deli Sacilotto, Photographic Printmaking Techniques (Watson-Guptil, New
York, New York, USA, 1982); survey and review of various techniques,
including photogravure, photo-lithography, and others.
Larry Schaaf, Out of the Shadows: Herschel, Talbot & the Invention of
Photography (Yale University Press, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, 1992);
thoroughly researched account of the many technical and legal hurdles
Talbot surmounted in perfecting and keeping his photographic inventions.
Brian Shure, Chine Colle/: A Printer's Handbook (Crown Point Press, San
Francisco, 2000); detailed illustrated description of this technique of
adhering an extremely thin sheet to another thicker sheet of etching
paper while printing, which yields exquisite results.
