[edit] Hildesheim Town Hall

Hildesheim Town Hall in Lower Saxony, Germany, ca. 1895.
Hildesheim Town Hall in Lower Saxony, Germany, ca. 1895.

A striking image of an awesome building. Check out the detail in the avenue on the left. Amazing green hues in the trees against the beige sky. A 28mb TIFF is available if anyone wants higher res, or to do some cleanup or adjustment. I was impressed enough is it is. Currently illustrating Hildesheim, it may become the starting point for the Photochrom or Photochrome article (the process used to create this picture, a sort of hybrid between photography and lithography).

  • Support Lovely. Also, does anyone else find it a bit odd that there's no Photochrome article? This was a pretty common technique, wasn't it? Junes 10:08, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. I wish Wikipedia had more postcard images like this. Sandover 02:24, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
    • If I wasn't studying for finals now, I'd be browsing the LoC photochrom archive here. It's prodigious. - Matthew Cieplak (talk) (edits) 20:55, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. The Hildesheim article has too many historic photos. It really ought to be illustrated by something like this. I would probably support this image on a good article about Photochrom/e colourizing. -- Solipsist 08:10, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
