Photochrom print taken of local girls on Marken Island, Holland in 1890.
The process of Photochrom is used to colorize images from black and white negatives through a direct transfer onto a lithographic printing plate. The Photochrom process came about in the 1880s thanks to printing firm employee Hans Jakob Schmidt. This photo is just one piece of a collection that shows what life was like in Holland at the turn of the century.
The girls in the photo are dressed in a style that most people closely associate with Holland, and as young people working on the wharf they’re either working in the fish trade or scrubbing something down. Whatever the case it’s a fascinating look at another time.
