  • Kest Schwartzman said:
    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]"

    I believe the spelling in the photo's caption is "Capt. Von Krosigk".

    Wonder if he's any relation to this man? The wiki makes mention of the Iron Cross award en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutz_Schwerin_von_Krosigk

    There was also a Capt. von Krosigk who was a Prussian army officer who was murdered in 1901. Two sergeants were accused of killing him. The New York Times referred to it as "a German Dreyfus case" query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E04E3D9143FE433A... I can't find a photo though so not sure if its the right guy.

    There was a German naval officer named Capt. Krosigk also, who visited New York commanding the Stettin in 1912. KAISER'S WARSHIPS SAIL TO VISIT US; Kiel Cheers the Departing Battleship-Cruiser Moltke and Germany's Pride Goes with It. Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES. May 12, 1912, Sunday query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C07E6DB103AE633A... In 1911 (the previous year) there is mention of an Admiral von Krosigk here: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9903E4D61131E233A...

    Thank you. Looks like "Capt. Von Krosigk" to me too. Will submit for correction.
