A November Day c. 1900

"A November Day" is a photogravure by William E. Dassonville, showcasing a minimalist scene of bare trees against a muted sky. The soft, hazy light and muted tones contribute to a sense of solitude and tranquility. This piece is a fine example of the photogravure technique, which was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Photogravure prints like this one are known for their unique qualities, including deep blacks, velvety textures, and a high level of detail. Dassonville's work is characterized by its subtle beauty and ability to capture the quiet moments in nature.
