This is an original 1896 first impression photogravure, by Goupil, of a painting by Dutch artist, Willem Roelofs. The actual image measures 7.75 x 11.75 inches.
Period Paper has obtained arguably the finest collection of original, hand-pulled, museum-quality photogravures of the art of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair (The World's Columbian Exposition). The artistry in the creation of these photogravures has produced the most clear, detailed, and broad tonal ranges that we have ever seen. TThe plate impressions are deep and very visible to the naked eye but do not show up well on the digital image. This collection took three years to create from the original works of art at the Exposition. The project was overseen or contributed to by the Commissioner of Fine Arts for France, the Royal Special Commissioner of Fine Arts for Italy, the Vice-President of the International Jury for the Fine Arts, the Assistant Commissioner of Fine Arts for Holland, and the lithographers of Goupil.

Currently, original photogravures like these from the late nineteenth century have been solid performers at Christie's and Sotheby's with ten unsigned photogravures selling for $5,000-$49,000 and one signed photogravure selling for $91,000.
