Denbigh Castle sits on a hilltop above the market town of Denbigh in northeast Wales, and this Photochrom view shows its ruined walls and towers as a late-Victorian visitor would have seen them. The castle was begun in the 1280s by Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, as part of the English crown's ring of fortresses in North Wales, and it was slighted after its fall during the English Civil War. The Photochrom process, a color method developed in Switzerland, was popular for tourist views like this one, and the Detroit Publishing Company sold such prints in the United States. The hand-tinted, luminous color typical of the process makes this a useful record of the castle's appearance in the 1890s.
