Ettal-Linderhof: Linderhof Palace

Interior view, upper floor, study (oval room), looking at the work table.

This picture is a photochrome. Similar to a lithograph, the individual color layers are printed separately and thus receive their radiant colorfulness. A black-and-white photograph by the Bavarian court photographer Joseph Albert served as a model for the printing process. Albert photographed the interiors of Linderhof Palace in 1886, the year King Ludwig II died; the prints were published in 1887. Photochrom Zurich photochromes, abbreviated P. Z., are often identified by a serial number followed by the letters P. Z. and a caption in gold letters.
