He was the first actor to be awarded a knighthood.

Photogravure is an intaglio printmaking or photo-mechanical process whereby a copper plate is grained to the plate and then coated with a light-sensitive gelatin tissue which had been exposed to a film positive, and then etched, resulting in a high quality intaglio plate that can reproduce detailed continuous tones of a photograph.
