Description
COPPER ENGRAVING PLATE - NATIVE AMERICAN
Copper photogravure plate mounted on wood, 4 1/2" x 3" x 1",ca. 1880, bearing the image, taken from a photograph, of a Native American dance. These plates were made by chemically etching a photographic negative onto a sheet of copper, which would reproduce the minute details and tones of the original. The image could then be reproduced many times, making it an ideal illustration method for newspapers and books. The wooden mounting block is ink-stained from heavy use. Very good.
