ABOUT PHOTOGRAVURE: Photogravure is an intaglio printmaking process utilizing a carefully etched copper plate made from the original negative/image. Prints are made by pressing suitable paper heavily down upon the inked copper plate which has been intricately etched to varying depths corresponding with the actual tonality of the original negative, This precisely etched plate combined with a fine “honeycomb” screen controls the amount of ink to be transferred to the paper at any given point in direct proportion to the variation of tone in the original image. The result is a true continuous tone print which combines many qualities of a traditional silver based photograph with a tactile feel similar to an etching, engraving or lithograph. Rich in tonal detail, the photogravure process produces delicately rendered shades for a look which is unique in the world of photographic print making. In the early to mid 1900’s photogravure was selected (when budgets allowed) for special high quality publishing and portfolio projects, but due to its significant expense and labor, the process is rarely seen today. From Man Ray and Ruth Bernhard to Brett Weston and Ansel Adams, many of the world’s most renowned photographic masters have published their images in the rich photogravure process.

Wonderful antique teddy bear. She is about 15 tall. She has been well loved! Don’t know the maker but she looks German. She does have many patches of hair loss but is a solid bear. She is 5 way jointed but her legs don’t straightened out very well. Apparently she has been sitting for a long time! Her arms don’t move much either. Some straw is showing but not leaking out. Part of her nose and mouth is missing. If you are looking for the perfect bear, she is not for you. She comes with her dress. Remember antique and vintage items will usually not look new and may show signs of a mysterious past life, may have unexpected minor and/or unseen or inside imperfections not listed. Item history is unknown to me. It is probably that it has been washed or altered. Item is for bear only no other items in the photos.

Antique German Bing bear. He measures 23 tall. His rust colored mohair is a much harder color to find and referred to as being quite rare. He shows play wear in various areas and has been loved through the years. His long arms, pronounced hump and big nose gives him that great German Bing look. His straw stuffed body is firm and will display well. Antique bears in larger sizes are getting harder to find. Thank you for looking. Hope you have a great Holiday Season.
