Item no. P2808 (cover)
Type: cover
Country: Great Britain
Date of use: 30 November 1905
Business stationery (cover) used by the company PHOTOCHROM Co. Ltd., in London (Great Britain), a division of the company PHOTOCHROM, producer of B/W and color postcards, that was based in Zurich (Switzerland). The company was established in 1895. It used a revolutionary process whereby black-and-white photographs were overprinted by multi-color lithography, with up to fourteen different ink colors being applied in sequence to produce what the company claimed was "natural color photography". It rapidly rivalled the existing black-and-white or stereo photographs but was then overtaken by tinted photographic postcards which were much cheaper to produce. The stamps used are “perfins” i. e. stamps bearing small round holes punched to form pattern of an acronym of the company’s name PCL (for Photochrom Company Limited).
