This #chromolithography example shows the inside of the chapel St. John’s College Cambridge. This picture was made around 1840; later, in 1860, the chapel was demolished & replaced with a Victorian Gothic Revival thing by Sir Gilbert Scott.

At least six colours here i think, so 6 plates, although sometimes they overprinted to get mixed colours.

The German caption was Prosit Neujahr, which is a toast to the New Year in Austria and parts of Germany

It was startling to see this as a full-page illo in a book 15½×12" (42x30cm). I was tempted to call it “Donald Trump proposes marriage to Nancy Pelosi, but decided not to mention the idea.

A Roman soldier, Gaius Mucius Scaevola, famous for his bravery in the siege of Rome.

[it’s actually a gruesome story so details are on the Web page if interested]

This is (i think) a chromolithograph, printed (in Barcelona in 1881) from multiple plates, one per solid colour. A clean scan and easy for #GIMP to process.

#DrakeloweHall - A rather large English #mansion with a history going back a thousand years, except it was demolished in 1934, and in the 1950s a power plant was built on the site.

Sir Nigel Gresley, steam locomotive designer, was a cousin to the family that lived here.

These chromolithographs are fun to clean up in #GIMP3 - solid colour, no dot screen.

Not certain whether the maid in the porch of the inn is shopping, receiving a gift, or whether people are arriving to stay. The man with the whip seems to be giving her something. But at any rate it’s #Christmas and there’s a coach and horses laden down with food.

I’ve tried to keep the colours, although maybe it should be bluer.
