1896 Photogravure: Forging the Anchor 
This is an original 1896 first impression photogravure by the lithographers of Goupil of a painting by Stanhope A. Forbes, A.R.A. depicting a gang of blacksmiths forging at the anvil, a large anchor which glows white hot, is the brightest part of the image.

Photogravures of the original works of art at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair (The World's Columbian Exposition) took 3 years to complete, increasing the availability/accessibility of high-quality art to be seen and admired. This photo-engraving is exemplary of the fine art pictorial photogravures process showing exceptional detail, deep impressions, varying tone, depth and shade.

Photogravure is a time-consuming, labor-intensive, costly process, near lost art. "Simply put, photogravures are photographs etched into copper and printed traditionally with ink. Their rich velvety matte surface, deep shadows, delicate half tones, and luminous highlights make photogravures some of the most beautiful and tactile images ever printed. Their invention, critical to the development of photography itself, was derived from an extraordinary quest during the nineteenth century to harness the power to diffuse thought through the action of light." photogravure.com

Wobbly

Wobbly and the metal bars keep coming off. Be aware. I’ve tripped over them. Be careful.

Good for a quick backdrop
This works well for what I needed – a simple background for my kids’ online school. It’s lightweight and very easy to put together, and it stands up fine without needing to mount anything. The color is listed as black, but it’s more of a dark gray in person. Not a huge deal, just something to be aware of. It’s not super heavy duty, but it does the job for privacy and as a video backdrop. Overall, a good, portable divider that’s quick to set up and works well for light use.
