The Castles Of Wales

Photochrom pictures shot in Wales at the end of the 19th century. They were originally published by the Detroit Publishing Company after being created by image-makers fascinated by the nation's castles and sweeping landscapes.

The result is a cross between a photograph and a painting that depicts famous Welsh castles and landscapes in a unique way. Like postcards, the photochroms feature subjects that appeal to travelers, including landscapes, architecture, street scenes, and daily life and culture.
