Tintern Abbey

Welcome to my vintage photochrom print collection—a captivating journey through the world at the end of the 19th century. Immerse yourself in the rich history and beauty of the UK, Europe, the USA, and many other countries captured by photography. 
As a passionate collector and curator of these remarkable prints. I am glad to be able to share them with you. Each photochrom is a masterpiece, created using a complex process that dates back to the late 19th century, adding an enchanting touch of colour to black-and-white photographs.

Photochrom of the Aäc process produces colourised images from a single black-and-white photographic negative via the direct photographic transfer of the negative onto lithographic printing plates.

The process was invented in the 1880s by Hans Jakob Schmid (1856–1924), who went on to found Zurich Photochroms, other companies to use the process were located in Detroit and London.

Because no colour information was preserved in the photographic process, the photographer would make detailed notes on the colours within the scene and use the notes to hand paint the negative before transferring the image through coloured gels onto the printing plates.

Step back in time as you explore the UK's storied landmarks, its picturesque countryside, and the charming streets of its bustling cities. Traverse Europe's iconic cities and awe-inspiring landscapes, marvelling at the timeless beauty that has captivated travellers for generations.
