Fotoreproductie van een gravure van Examination of a Village School, naar het schilderij door Sir George Harvey before 1870

This photogravure, created by Thomas Annan before 1870, is a reproduction of Sir George Harvey's painting "Examination of a Village School". Annan, a Scottish photographer known for his urban and architectural photography, captured the detail of Harvey's depiction of a classroom scene, showcasing the teacher and students engaged in learning. The photogravure process, which uses a photographic negative to etch an image onto a metal plate, allowed for fine detail and tonal range, making this reproduction a valuable documentation of Harvey's work.
