Is anyone familiar with Bromide postcards or prints?

This German postcard from the 1910s was sold by a company that I know published bromide postcards as well as other types.

The surface of the postcard doesn't look like the real photo pcs I've dealt with before, but it does have a slight sheen in the areas that are the darkest. The other areas look pretty flat. Is that consistent with bromide postcards and prints?



Thanks...

JMHO.
it must look flat because the beggar is standing before a wall that is either painted or covered by a linen whereupon you have the landscape.
or is it a coulisse ?

Not sure whether bromide and bromoil are the same process?

Some sites refer to bromide prints, and some refer to bromide paper. The above should give you a research start. I have no idea personally.

Oh, here is an article from the early 20th century. I haven't read it yet but maybe it will help.
