Scope note

Color photomechanical prints produced lithographically from photographs. The technique was developed in Switzerland in the 1880s by Photoglob Zurich and used until the early 1900s. The caption is often in gold lettering. The prints look deceptively like color photographs unless viewed with a magnifying glass.
