Blotches of Sunlight and Spots of Ink 1907

Vintage hand-pulled photogravure from Camera Works on wove paper
American photographer George Henry Seeley was born in Boston Massachusetts in 1880. Alfred Stieglitz saw Seeley's photos at the First American Salon in 1904 and immediately invited him to join Camera Work a journal of pictorialism and the vanguard of American modernism. In the early part of the century Seeley participated in almost all the major Photo- Sessionist exhibitions. The folowing is a quote most likely by Steiglitz ... Originally Seeley chose a path peculiarly his own. He followed it close. He is undoubtedly one of the most original and earnest of the Photo-Sessionist... Seeley's photographs are known for their delicacy and softness which this photo is a great example. Not many of these photogravures have survived making Blotches of Sunlight and Spots of Ink a great find and very collectable.

Photogravure, also known as heliogravure, is a complex intaglio printing process that photographically transfers an image to a plate and then to the page. After the image has been transferred to the plate, it is then etched onto it before being printed onto paper. The results are of incredibly high-quality.photogravure in its mature form was not developed until the late 1870s by Czech painter Karel Klíč. He first included pigment paper in the process of photo technical transfer in 1879 and is regarded as the inventor of photogravure process.There are two steps to the process. Firstly, a copper plate is coated with a light-sensitive gelatine tissue which is then exposed to the light from a photographic image. The gelatine hardens where the light falls, and remains soft where light doesn’t. Following this step, the plate is etched down to different depths according to the hardness of the gelatine. The result of this is a highly defined intaglio plate that can reproduce in great detail the tones of the original photographic image. The printing plate is etched to a different depth according to the finest tonal values, which can be printed after removal of the remaining gelatine using the gravure printing process.
