The insert folder entitled "Eight drawings by Dick Ket" contains 8 drawings and sketches by Dick Ket, executed in the copper intaglio printing process, published by the Vada printing company from Wageningen in 1964. Limited as a New Year's gift exclusively for relations of the printing company. Published in close collaboration with the Gemeentemuseum Arnhem.
On the back of the copper intaglio prints is the number and description from the Vada folder.
Quite rare now and of antique value. That is where (after an extensive search at antique shops) most of the items in our collection come from. That is how we also found some Vada folders by Isaac Israëls, Jan Toorop, Vincent van Gogh and Jean Baptiste Madou.
Beautiful affordable collector's items for the enthusiast and certainly also suitable for framing.
Because we have our own framing workshop, we can arrange this (in consultation) very cheaply, please inquire about the possibilities.
About copper intaglio printing (also called rotogravure)
Intaglio printing is a fascinating and versatile printing technique with a rich history and a wide range of applications. Such as the copper intaglio printing presses that Drukkerij Vada had between 1962 and 1981. A graphic printing technique in which the design is engraved on a copper printing cylinder. This process offered a unique combination of precision, detail and texture that is difficult to imitate with other printing techniques. The costs of intaglio printing are very high for small editions, because engraving the cylinder is very expensive.
