Chromolithography was a process by which multicoloured images were produced in the 19th century.
This is a little card which had been printed to celebrate a first communion in June 1895. Even today in France cards are printed and presented as souvenirs, but the best part is the sugared almonds…

Wow this is a very old card and in such good condition.
I am amazed the color lasted Today I have old paper printed from school and the ink seems to befading away.
Hello there. Just stopped in to say hello. You may not remember me after all this time. I truly enjoyed viewing all your vintage postcards. I only have the one blog now. I deleted Finding Life'e Enchantments but will still be focusing on adding little positive posts to Flying the Astral Plane. Hopefully, I will catch the blogging bug and be a regular again.
Blessings!

I just found your site and have enjoyed it. I like all the little facts about things I've never learned.

A Lady's Life: I think a lot depends on the quality of the paper as much as the ink.
Titania: I've never forgotten you. Please don't disappear again!
C. Taylor Brown: Thanks for visiting. I'll check yours out now.
