This is a rare cibachrome print found to date. The cibachrome print is a darkroom positive-to-positive contact print and the most stable colored print from the mid-20th century. It is the only analogue process for producing prints from color transparency. The process has been since discontinued. This print was developed, enlarged and produced by Lee Sow Lim, a self-taught photographer, in a darkroom.
