Travels in Photochrom

Just discovered the Library of Congress's Photochrom Print Collection.



And I.  Love.  It.

It's photography...but it's also art.



I don't pretend to understand the process, but photochrom is basically a way of colorizing B&W photos.  I think it's quite amazing.  I love the Victorian solemnity and vintage color schemes, with a pink/peach tinge and emphasis on warm colors. 




Forget Blu-Ray--find me a DVD player that plays in photochrom!  ;)  No, seriously.
