Modern Histrionic French Art is represented, by many brilliant names, for among the feminine, are Sarah Bernhardt, Sophie Croizette and Blanche Barretta. The latter, a pupil and protegee of Mlle Bernhardt, Blanche Barretta was born in Paris in 1862, and made her debut at the Theatre Comedie-Française, in 1878, and immediately captured the hearts of the Parisians. The talented Painter Louise Abbema, is remarkable for her successful portrait painting, and having identified her career with the theatrical fraternity, is known in Paris as the theatrical portrait painter, par excellence. A more pleasing portrait of a beautiful woman it has seldom been our good fortune to behold especially "The liquid loveliness of eye," and no wonder that it was the chief favorite among portraits in the Salon of 1880. Mlle. Abbema is so young, that we will be forgiven the admission, that we do not know her age she is however old enough to have earned a distinguished and honorable fame.

It can produce high quality prints in large quantities. The process is derived from Talbot's photoglyphic engraving, but was not invented until much later. It was invented in 1879 by the Austrian printer, Karel Klic (1841-1926).The photogravure process is generally highly regarded, being able to produce high quality copies, with the images with charcoal blacks and bright whites, embedded in the fibres of the paper. Results using rich sepia ink can also be very attractive. Photogravure images have been described as having the subtlety of a photograph and the art quality of a lithograph. The finished picture shows the mark of the plate around the picture. NOTE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU PURCHASE: This is a GENUINE ANTIQUE PRINT.
