heliogravure

His method of photomechanical printing, called heliogravure, was published in 1856 in Traité pratique de gravure héliographique.

The collages at Scheibler are composed of black and white ink drawings; onto these Anderson has applied anatomical elements from early twentieth-century medical plates, reprinted on coloured paper by a copper heliogravure process.

His son Isidore (1805-68) formed a partnership with Daguerre after his father's death and was granted a government pension in 1839 in return for disclosing the technical details of Nicéphore's heliogravure process.

For those familiar with Jim Dine's recent forays into photography (or, as the publisher would have it, "heliogravure"), the characters in the dream constitute a well-known cast: a crow, an owl, a doll with a Pinocchio nose and a statuette of an embracing cat and monkey.

Answering the pressure of demand for authentic "Henri II" furniture designs in the 1880s, suites of designs by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau for chimeypieces, furniture and arabesque ornament were reproduced by the new technique of heliogravure.
