Italian Photochrom prints, c. 1890
I came across this extraordinary collection of vintage Italian Photochrom prints (ink-based photolithographs, c. 1890-1900) on the Library of Congress Flickr page. They are also available as high-resolution TIFF files on the collection homepage; I’ve already downloaded a few and I’m ready to start printing. Here are a few of my favorites after just a brief dip into the collection of thousands of images:
Mount Solaro, Capri Island, Italy
Bellagio, general view, Lake Como, Italy
Cityscape view looking toward cathedral, Florence, Italy
General view, Arco, Lake Garda, Italy
Menaggio, general view, Lake Como, Italy
Blue grotto, Capri Island, Italy
Valley of Sarca, Arco, Lake Garda, Italy
