About Rotogravure:

Rotogravure is a printing method using a rotary press with intaglio cylinders which allows for very high quality halftone reproductions to be printed at high speed on inexpensive paper stock. Newspapers, beginning with The New York Times, were able to make effective use of this technology, and many published regular rotogravure pictorial sections in their publications during the early 20th century.

This piece was illustrated by Homer, Winslow. Artist name printed on page.

Homer, Winslow (1836 - 1910)

Winslow Homer was an American landscape painter and printmaker. He was largely self taught and focused on exploiting the mediums of oil painting and watercolor through his work. He began as a commercial illustrator and was best known for his marine subjects and rural New England scenes.
