Italian landscape Heliogravure Old Print Neubert 1883
Title: Italienische Landschaft.
Artists: Louis Neubert.
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce produced the first permanent images from nature with a camera, 20 years earlier than Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre, the man usually called the inventor of photography. To make the heliograph, Niépce dissolved light-sensitive bitumen in oil of lavender and applied a thin coating over a polished pewter plate. He inserted the plate into a camera obscura and positioned it near a window in his second-story workroom. After several days of exposure to sunlight, the plate yielded an impression of the courtyard, outbuildings, and trees outside.
During the early twentieth century leading art journals around the world published original etchings, lithographs and woodcuts on a regular basis. Some of the greatest prints from this vital era were commissioned and published by The Studio, in London, Pan, in Germany, The Print Connoisseur, in America, and Verviel-faltigende Kunst, in Vienna.
