New York Graphic Society (NYGS) was a publishing company owned and started by Anton Friedrich Schütz in 1925. He was a German-American artist known for his etchings.

It is the oldest procedure for reproducing photographic images, invented by Joseph Nicéphore Niepce.
There are 2 steps, photochemical procedure that create the intaglio surface, the photographic image is fixed and etched to a prepared copper plate. The image is printed onto dampened etching paper using special inks ( traditional method)
The transitions from light to dark are modulated. Even when examined under a magnifying glass, a héliogravure betrays no screen pattern, unlike images printed using industrial methods such as offset, letterpress or rotogravure.
Héliogravure is in the same family of intaglio printing techniques as engraving, etching and aquatint. Héliogravure is considered an original, and its value is accordingly assured

Its a very high quality and rare photographic printing process for art, also know as gravure.

They are the Société de la Propriété Artistique et des Dessins et Modules. SPADEM is a copyright protection and collection society in France formed by visual artists and their heirs.

A collotype, also called Photocollography, is a photomechanical printing process that gives accurate high quailty reproduction because no halftone screen is employed to break the images into dots.

A lithograph is a painstakingly chemical process. They are highely collectable and superior to a basic poster print.

There are different types of lithographs and gravures. In Addition, they are also collotypes, etchings, engravings, serigraph, linocuts, etc

Fine art prints art doctumented in the catalogue ( some examples: U.S. Trademark, SPADEM,FCA,FAA,SPADEM,ADAGP, UNESCO) in the country where the artist lived.

Compare the measurements documented image ( ask the seller to provide the image size, "there are times I am lazy and I only put the paper/sheet size."

A good book is Goethe's to compare size, platemark, price and provenance.

Again, lithographs, silkscreens and woodcuts are usually measured by the image size itself (or by the total size of the sheet/paper if there are no margins).

Heliogravure, photogravure, typogravure or collotype reproductions are often reproduced in a size smaller than the original, these are more valuable then lithographs and giclee

Pricing is based on [(retail) = year of production (inflation)] +/- condition × rarity = price

Example:
retail in 1966 = retail $30
[$250] very good +50 = 300 x .25 (slightly) = $375

Price books available from UNESCO.

* it more complex, however this is fair. Some of the first paintings from the greats sold for pocket change, or never sold like Van Gogh; today they sell for millions.

** Simple example: gas in 1950 was 25 cents a gallon, today its 2.50 cent a gallon or more: that is a 1000% mark up. It is disrespectful not to sell these pieces for their inflation value. I have the documented retail catalogs of how much these fine art reproduction sold for.

Auction houses, galleries, collectors, and the public has access to the Catalogues raisonnés — it is free. It gives a scholarly compilations of an artist's body of work. The limitation is that it is only updated up to the 1980s.
