The William Henry Jackson Photochrom Collection contains 187 mostly photochrom prints of Colorado, New Mexico, California, Utah, other states, and Mexican scenes. Photochrom (also known as Fotochrom, Photochrome, or the Aäc process) is a process for producing colorized images from black-and-white negatives via the direct photographic transfer of a negative onto lithographic printing plates. The process is a photographic variant of chromolithography. A small number of the prints are black and white. Prints appear in three sizes: 4.5 x 6.5 inches, 3.5 x 7 inches, and 7 x 9 inches.
