Colossi Of Memnon 1929 Photogravure Egypt Pharoah Amenhotep Iii Luxor Thebes For Sale
A Photogravure of the Colossi at Memnon Located Near the Ancient Egyptian City of Thebes (1929)The Colossi are monumental antique sculptures (14th century BCE) of seated figures depicting Pharaoh Amenhotep III. The pair guard the gateway to the Theban Necropolis, located across the Nile from the modern city of Luxor.This photogravure is printed from the original negative and on very fine paper. Invented in the 1830s, the
photogravure printing process was a technically advanced and highly
successful methodology for reproducing photographic images in larger
editions. Not unlike lithography, images from
photo negatives were etched onto copper plates, which were then inked
and the image was then transferred - often hand-pulled - to paper. The
product was of unprecedented quality and is recognized as an art form with unique qualities derived from the process itself. Faintly sepia-toned photogravureVery Good Condition - see photosDimensions: 16 inches by 12 inches (matted); the image is 9 inches by 6 1/2 inches (11 inches by 8 1/2 inches including margins)FREE S/H/I in U.S.
