Photochrom is a technique of producing a lithographic print in color from a black and white negative. This technique was developed in Zurich late in the 19th cent., as a substitute for coloring photos by hand. The colors of photochrom photos are determined in the laboratory and do not reflect the real colors of the photo's subject.
