[amdavadis4ever] 1890 Phototropism of Scotland!

 

1890 Photo chroms of Scotland! These postcards of Scotland at the end of the 19th century were produced by the Detroit Publishing Company using the Photochrom process, a technique for applying 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.   Farmers bring their cattle to the market town of Dumfries.   IMAGE: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS   For each tint to be used in the final color composite, an additional litho stone is created. The process was extremely 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 at a time when true color photography was just being developed.   Highland cattle.   IMAGE: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Lincluden Abbey, Dumfries.   A river near Kirkcudbright.   IMAGE: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS The coastline near Macduff.   IMAGE: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS The 12th century Dunskey Castle near the village of Portpatrick.   The harbor at Rothesay.   IMAGE: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Linn of Muick, a waterfall on the river Muick in Aberdeenshire.   IMAGE: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS The town of Stirling, as seen from Abbey Craig.   Medieval Dunnottar Castle, near Stonehaven.   IMAGE: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS 15th-century Carrick Castle on Loch Goil.   IMAGE: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS 14th-century Threave Castle, near the town of Castle Douglas.   IMAGE: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Wallace Monument on Abbey Craig near Stirling, a monument to Sir William Wallace.   IMAGE: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
