Divided back. 1¢ stamp. No. B 12511. Litho-Chrome. American News Company, NY. Leipzig, Berlin, Dresden. Trade Mark Germany. American News Company often printed postcards for smaller businesses. Litho-Chrome is a trade name for a type of German made postcard distributed by the American News Company that was printed as a blue collotype over yellow and red lithographic spatter. Individual colors remain sharp and tend to stand out, especially the blue as it is used on the key plate instead of black. The blue is sometimes dominates the composition to the point of creating highly unnatural compositions. The technique tends to be used most effectively when rendering night scenes. They are drawn more toward more solid tones than to texture, though an actual wormy texture is embossed into the paper. |
