Photochrome (Photochrom Collection)

We offer a collection of over 5000 beautiful photochroms from the 1890's to the early 1900's. These beautiful images display architechture, scenic views, stunning nature views, towns, ships, peoples and much more from Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Each image is an absolutely stunning work of art that you are sure to enjoy for years to come.

The photochrom process was originally developed in Switzerland (and when the word was Americanized, it was renamed photochrome.) A photochrom is a color photographic lithograph produced from an original black and white negative. The final prints would be created by creating a variety of different color impressions from the use of multiple lithographic stones. This process "re-developed" the image into a stunning full color image that looks more like a painting than a photograph.
