Photogravure
is an
intaglio
printmaking
or photo-mechanical process whereby a copper plate is grained (adding a pattern to the plate) and then coated with a light-sensitive gelatin tissue which had been exposed to a film positive, and then
etched
, resulting in a high quality
intaglio
plate that can reproduce detailed continuous tones of a photograph.
Because of its high quality and richness, photogravure was used for both original fine art prints
and for photo-reproduction of works from other media such as paintings.  In France the correct term for photogravure is
héliogravure
, while the French term
photogravure
refers to any photo-based etching technique.
