"Madison, Wis. The
Rocky Roost In Lake Mendota." Back: "The Hugh C. Leighton Co.,
Manufacturers, Portland, ME., U.S.A. (#) 15040. Made In Germany." PM
7/29/14. Circa 1909. There seems to be a mix of different processes. The sky
has a definite cyan (blue) halftone dot pattern, used in today’s printing
process. But this process appears only in the sky. The rest of the postcard,
including the water in the bottom half, is printed in color using a
cellotype,
photogravure or lithograph process, a
more uneven "dot" process. Under magnification, it appears that the magenta
(red), cyan (blue) and yellow plates most resemble the cellotype process.
The black plate is a very fine photogravure process printed over the three
other colors. Printed in Germany. The Hugh C. Leighton Co. manufactured
postcards from 1906-1909. They merged with Valentine & Sons in 1909. 5.4 x
3.4. See our Wright Study
of Rocky Roost. |
