The Digital Chromist is a curated collection of restored ephemera from the the end of the Victorian Era (1880-1901) and Edwardian Era (1901-1910). They come from a variety of trade cards, calling cards, and postcards.

Reproductions of artwork during this era were created using lithography. Lithographs were created by drawing an image onto a smooth stone, treating with chemicals, and then printing on paper. With chromolithography, each color used in the image was separately drawn onto a stone or plate and applied to the paper one at a time. The chromist specialized in breaking down the colors needed to create the artist’s artwork.

As a digital chromist, I specialize in scanning, digitizing, retouching, and reconstruction this artwork.
