  article on the process of photochrom: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochrom "A litho stone is coated with a thin layer of purified bitumen dissolved in benzene. A reversed half-tone negative is then pressed against this light-sensitive coating and an exposure in daylight made (taking from 10–30 minutes in summer, to several hours in winter). The bitumen hardens and becomes resistant to normal solvents in proportion to the light. The coating is then washed in turpentine solutions, removing the unhardened bitumen. It is then retouched in the tonal scale of the chosen color to strengthen or soften the tones as required. Each tint needs a separate stone bearing the appropriate retouched image, and prints are usually produced by at least six, and more commonly from 10 to 15 tint stones.[4]"

  The green car at left is a 1951 Chevrolet. So that narrows down the date of this postcard.

• Swedish National Heritage Board - Riksantikvarieämbetet said:

  Martin van Duijn Thanks a lot Martin! Your expert knowledge about cars has helped us improve the dating of several of our images so far. I'll change the date period in our photo database as well. /Anna B.

  Indeed the Crimea was a harsh and bloody war. Sadly, the 20th and 21st century wars makes it look like a schoolyard brawl
