By an unidentified photographer for PZ Photochrom.
Ink credit stamp 'Photochrom 3080' on reverse; some edge and thumbnail creases noticeable in raking light, a little rubbing at extremities and small loss at bottom right corner
Photochrom prints look like colour photographs but are ink-based images involving the photographic transfer of an original negative onto litho and chromographic printing plates, a process invented by Hans Jakob Schmid (1856–1924) for the Swiss
firm Orell Füssli in the 1880s. It was a complex process requiring a separate stone for each colour, sometimes up to ten stones. Füssli published the prints through a company with the imprint Photochrom Zürich, later Photoglob Zürich. In the 1890s
they also licensed the Detroit Photographic Company to make photochroms and their catalogue of 1901 clearly states the photochrom’s unique selling point: ‘the only successful means yet known of producing directly without the aid of hand color work a
photograph in the colors of nature. The results combine the truthfulness of a photograph with the color and richness of an oil painting or the delicate tinting of the most exquisite water color. The colors are absolutely permanent and attain the
virility and strength of nature so often lacking in hand colored work’ (http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/pgz/process.html). Large format British scenes in the photochrom process are scarce. Although the prints were popular with collectors the
vast majority of views sold world-wide were in a much smaller size (typically around 6½ x 9 inches) and this grander scale was more often reserved for European and American landscapes.
