Same photo by Kusakabe in the Nagasaki University collection. Same angle by T Enami 1892-1895.

Identical Image with a wealth of additional Information right here on flickr, courtesy of Okinawa Soba:

Shachihoko~! Gorgeous photo!

Hi, i'd like to know if my picture here is Dunluce Castle from a different angle? Please let me know. I snapped this shot in 2003 while on vacation. if not, please delete this shot from the thread.

Hi Karen. the photograph listed by the library is taken from the coast, facing towards Portrush and the white rocks (which can be seen in the background). Your image is taken from above the castle, facing the water,and is about 90 degrees to the left as you look at the library photo. you may be able to compare the position of the round tower in the two images. hope this helps!

Ah, so it is Dunluce! Thank you !

lol at karens shameless self promotion great photos nevertheless

Fascinant ... magnifique photo !

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]"

Thanks for adding the process info--I had no idea this was done using stone lithography.

This is a very beautiful landscape photograph.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Landscape Painters of the World, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

I really like it - the composition and the tone. //Max :)
