Library of Congress Updates their Flickr Photochrom Collection
From an e-Mail Announcement:
The "Photochrom Travel View" set in Flickr now features more than 750 prints, including scenes in Canada, Wales, Belgium, and (most recently) The Netherlands photographed at the turn of the twentieth century. The Belgian scenes, in particular, feature people at work and recreation, in addition to the striking landscapes and landmark buildings characteristic of the photochroms in general.
Happy Tagging!
Btw, the complete Photocrom Prints collection, more than 6,500 images, is accessible here.
What's a Photocrom?
Published primarily from the 1890s to 1910s, these prints were created by the Photoglob Company in Zürich, Switzerland, and the Detroit Publishing Company in Michigan. The richly colored images look like photographs but are actually ink-based photolithographs, usually 6.5 x 9 inches.
