<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 10096, member: 201&quot;]Sorry, Fig... I know you like these kinds of images! I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll offer similar things again. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is cards like this were printed using the photochrom process, which was developed in Switzerland and used from the 1880s through the 1960s. With photochroms, the items were printed using lithographic plates, but the plates themselves were created using photographic negatives so it is a semi-photographic process. I think I may have talked about this once on the AB in reference either to other postcards or prints, not sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, you&#039;re right about RPPCs being different. They&#039;re literally regular photographs that have been turned into postcards by adding the dividing line, etc., on the back. I don&#039;t know what quantity was usually produced of any given RPPC card.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
