My 91-year old mom told me a "rotogravure", as used in the popular Irving Berlin song of her day, "Easter Parade", indicated (that your photo might be in) a sepia-toned section of an otherwise all black and white newspaper.

Japanese models

gravure seems to be a word used for pictures of Japanese models. Well indeed, and you seem to be a nerd that want to relate everything to your fetish? It is about the technique not about the subject. Would you define postcards as pictures of <insert some city> just because that city featured on some postcards?

Some images please

I was desperately looking for a wikipedia entry explaining those strange raster-dots that give this printing technique its special "look". Luckily I found some nice pages which described the process of transfering a photo to gelatin-covered carbon tissue through a raster for etching later on. Unfortunately, I can't just rip their images and put them here - so maybe I'll make some SVGs to illustrate the process.

If someone else already has some images at hand, it would be nice to have them here - especially something like this: cells and methods

References (maybe some else is better in merging them with the existing wiki-text?):
