The photogravure is an intaglio print process that was sometimes used to produce high-quality reproductions of photographs in ink. A positive transparency of a photographic image is used to control the etching of a specially prepared metal plate. After etching in an acid bath, the plate is inked and the surface wiped, leaving ink behind in the etched pits. A sheet of damp paper is then placed on the inked plate and printed. Photogravures have a smooth, continuous tonal range, although an extremely fine grain is evident under magnification. Invented by William Henry Fox Talbot in the s, the process was perfected by Karl V. Klíč in and was popular from the mid-s through the s.

Alfred Stieglitz printed large editions of photogravures of his photographs from the mid-s to the mid-s, most of which he included in his periodicals Camera Notes, Camera Work, and 291, as well as his portfolio Picturesque Bits of New York and Other Studies. In the early s, he also made larger photogravures of his photographs for exhibition and inclusion in an unrealized portfolio of pictures of New York City.

Stieglitz&#;s use of photogravure is further discussed in Julia Thompson&#;s essay &#;Stieglitz&#;s Portfolios and Other Published Photographs.&#;
