A photogravure, or "gravure", is a photographic image produced from a copper engraving plate. The process is rarely used today due to the high costs involved, but it produces prints which have the subtlety of a photograph and the art quality of a lithograph.


The Gaza Strip, or simply Gaza, is a narrow self-governing Palestinian enclave on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea that borders Egypt on the southwest for 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) and Israel on the east and north along a 51 km (32 mi) border. Gaza, together with the West Bank, is part of the Palestinian territories claimed by Palestinians as the future sovereign territory of the State of Palestine. Gaza falls under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority and since June 2007 has been governed by Hamas, a Palestinian Islamic organization which came to power in free elections in 2006. It has been placed under an Israeli and U.S.-led international economic and political boycott from that time onwards.
