Published by The Photochrom Co. Ltd. London & Tunbridge Wells. Producer of postcards launched in 1895 and based in Zurich. It used a revolutionary process whereby black-and-white photographs were overprinted by multi-colour lithography, with up to fourteen different ink colours being applied in sequence to produce what the company claimed was "natural colour photography". It rapidly rivalled the existing black-and-white or stereo photographs but was then overtaken by tinted photographic postcards which were much cheaper to produce .Source: The British Museum Eton College, or just Eton, is a British independent school for boys between the ages of 13–18. It was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI,[1] as the King's College of Our Lady of Eton. Eton College is in Eton, near Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. It is north of Windsor Castle. The school is one of the original nine English "public schools" as defined by the Public Schools Act 1868. The school is a member of the Eton Group of independent schools in the United Kingdom. The current Headmaster is Simon Henderson. For every 8 pupils there is one teacher.[2] Eton is a full boarding school. All pupils live at the school. It is one of four such remaining boys' public schools (the others being Winchester College, Harrow School, and Radley College). Eton has educated many British and foreign aristocrats.
