heliogravure, photogravure Explanation: Same as in French, minus the accent. You can find an explanation on what heliogravure is on the following sites (quite interesting, by the way): http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.prohelio.com/prohel... http://www.ciais.fr/helio.htm An example of its use in English: "Nineteenth-century photographs were made with a variety of techniques, some like photogravure or heliogravure drawn from etching, others resembling watercolor or drawing." http://www.kamprint.com/inklings.htm But the term seems to be used in English more to describe old pictures, but on this site, they use the word to describe modern postage stamp making: http://www.philnet.fr/eng/newstamps/france_d/20000230.html This site give us a caveat: "In 1853 Niepce's cousin, Niepce de Saint-Victor, and Lemaître presented a paper to the French Academy of Science concerning a method they called "heliogravure" which, however, was not the reproductive technique used at present which is known by the same name. In fact the paper concerned a tranfer method on metal, stone, and especially wood which were then engraved or cut by hand or prepared chemically. Later on heliogravure became a more precise term and heliographic engraving came to denote all engraving done on metal or wood which was done by means of a photographically transferred design." http://www.polymetaal.nl/beguin/mapc/contact_photogravure.ht... Some also call this process "photogravure" " Heliogravure is an intaglio process and is the french word for photogravure. Prints made by heliogravure were called heliographs, which some people have termed their collotype prints as. The photographed image is transferred to the printing plate in a way that the printing surface is sunk below the surrounding portions of the plate. It is a very sophisticated process that requires special care. " http://www.nd.edu/~tbresnah/collotypepage.html |
