Fossestuen Hotel, named in the title as a hotel in Trondhjem, is the particular subject here, and the name itself points to a place tied to a waterfall, since "foss" is the Norwegian word for one. Trondhjem, now usually spelled Trondheim, was Norway's medieval capital and is dominated by Nidaros Cathedral, so visitors of the 1890s often came to the city as a stop on the route north. This print is a photochrom, a process that produced color travel views from a series of stone impressions, and it was issued by the Detroit Publishing Co. and listed in its 1905 catalog as print no. 7112.
