Sepia Saturday: Photochrome
A little color, 1890s style, from around the world. Women of the Caucacus - Library of Congress Collection LC-DIG-ppmsc -03930 Traveling by Reindeer, Archangel, Russia - Library of Congress Collection - hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/ppmsc.03931 Distinguished Moorish Women, Algiers - Library of Congress Collection (LC-DIG-ppmsc-05553) Photochrome prints are colorized images produced from black and white photo negatives that are directly transferred onto lithographic printing plates. The process was invented in the 1880s by Hans Jakob Schmid (1856 - 1924). It was popular in the 1890s, when color photography was in existence but still commercially impractical. Sepia Saturday.

I did make it to the Museum of Glass and loved it, didn't make it to the Tacoma Museum of Art so my D. Chihuly thirst isn't quenched. I managed to spend a few minutes shopping at the PNW store in Proctor District. That's about all. I hope to be back because I really liked the little I saw of Tacoma. Ahhhhh that view on Mt Rainier from the waterfront was just too gorgeous!!!
Have a wonderful weekend.
