Photochrom or Photochrome is a colorizing process combining Photography and color Lithography . ''Photochrome'' may also refer to the modern age of color Postcards in America. Photochrom is used to create a Color Print from a black and white photo Negative , using between four and fourteen lithograph stones, made from imported rocklike substances, to colorize the print with several different Ink s. The photochrom process was most popular in the 1890s , when color photography was first being developed but commercially impractical. Photochrom was developed in Zürich , hence its proper name being spelled without the final 'e,' and was brought to popularity by the Detroit Photographic Company . When the US Congress authorized the one-penny postcard, thousands of photochrom prints, usually of cities or landscapes, were created and sold as postcards. Photochrom typifies the look and feel of "postcard pictures." EXTERNAL LINKS |
