Description
9 beautiful and vivid photochroms of Swiss landscapes, produced by "Photochrom Zürich" and each labled with number and description printed in bottom left hand corner.
Probably dated between 1890 and 1910; dimensions between 16.5 and 17 cm by approx 12 cm. Most are in good condition, though some corners are slightly torn/folded. Almost all have "Photochrom" stamped on the back, see second image below.
Judging by the other maps, guides, postcardbooks and booklets in my inheritance these photochroms were bought as souvenirs in a periode in which my greataunt's parents were active travellers through Switzerland, France and other countries, turn of the 19th Century.
Descriptions:
79. P.Z. - Lütschental
108. P.Z. - Luzern. Die Kapellbrücke
113. P.Z. - Tellsplatte
135. P.Z. - Rigi - Kaltbad
146. P.Z. - Luzern. Löwendenkmal
190. P.Z. - Gotthardbahn Unterrhalb Wasen
496. P.Z. - Fluelen. Bristenstock
506. P.Z. - Die Jungfrau
686. P.Z. - Giessbach
I have included an overview of all 9 photochroms and several individual photochroms. As there is a limit of 5 images I couldn't include all, so if you'd like to see the others just let me know.
I might be interested to sell them if they are worth "enough", otherwise I'll keep them as I think they're great! There seems to be a market for these things on ebay and such (but prices vary a lot...) but I can't find any resembling these particular ones, and am basically just eager to know if someone could pin a possible value on them. Thanks a lot for any help!
