[www.keralites.net] Color Postcards That Show 1890s Scotland in All Its Beauty

 

Stunning Photocroms of Scotland From the 1890s!

These stunning postcards of Scotland during the end of the 19th century were produced by the Detroit Publishing Company using the Photchrom process, a technique used to apply vibrant and surprisingly realistic color to black and white images.

The process, invented in the 1880s by an employee of a Swiss printing company, involves coating lithographic limestone tablets with a light sensitive emulsion and exposing them to light under a photo negative. For each tint that was used in the final color composite, an additional litho stone is created.

The process was very time-consuming and required painstaking attention to detail, but the result was color postcards which captured the cities, moors, and ruined castles of Scotland with an impressive degree of verisimilitude, particularly during a time when color photography was just being developed.
