Prague Window - photogravure print

Prague Window - photogravure printI noticed the very thick exterior walls in Europe create a display area of sorts in most of the windows on the street. I am envious in a way of this genre for expression that the locals have at hand. I also admire them for taking advantage of the space to make some beauty for the rest of us. This is one of many windows I photographed and it happens to be in Prague. Hand pulled photogravure print is made with Gamblin bone black, sepia, and Charbonnel
