These incandescent motion-picture show and mailing-card from the twist of the nineteenth century are n’t unfeigned color picture taking — they were colored using a process known as photochrom that gave the landscapes they depict a bleary warm facing .
Here ’s the description of the photochrom process from theLibrary of Congress :
Photochrom prints , also call Aäc , are ink - base images produced through “ the direct photographic transfer of an original negative onto litho and chromographic printing plate . ” Hans Jakob Schmid ( 1856 - 1924 ) , who work for the Swiss firm Orell Füssli , invented the proficiency in the eighties . Füssli release the print through a company with the imprint Photochrom Zürich , later Photoglob Zürich . Other companionship that certify the process starting in the mid 1890s included the Detroit Photographic Company ( later Detroit Publishing Company ) in the United States and the Photochrom Company in London , England . [ … ] The print look deceptively like coloring photograph . But when reckon with a magnifying glass the little dots that comprise the ink - base photomechanical figure are visible . The photomechanical process let mass production of the bright color prints . Each color in the net print required a disjoined asphalt - coated lithographic stone , usually a lower limit of six I. F. Stone and often more than ten stones .

The photochrom process preceded true colour picture taking and gave each postcard ’s small slice of reality an ethereal wash . you’re able to check off out the Library of Congress ’ photochrom assemblage at the Flickr link below and at the LOC’smain site .
