These stunning colorized photochroms show the mountains, fjords, glaciers, cities, and towns of late 19th century Norway. From fish market in Bergen to Aalesund these pictures show Norway moving towards the peaceful separation from Sweden.

These photos were colorized using the photochrom process. This process was invented in the 1880s by a Swiss printer. A series of dyed limestones tablets were used to create a colorized version of a black and white negative image. This technique was widely used to produce some of earliest colorized pictures.
