Bromide - bromide

Japanese: ブロマイド - ぶろまいど(英語表記)bromide
Bromide - bromide

Photographic paper made from silver bromide, and also photographs printed onto that photographic paper. In Japan, portraits of popular people such as actors and singers are called "promades," but this term was invented at the end of the Taisho period, when portraits of movie actors were being sold as products, and it seemed odd to use the name "promade" for the photographic paper. The first promade movie star was Kurishima Sumiko in 1921 (Taisho 10).

Japanese:

臭化銀を用いてつくった写真印画紙、また、その印画紙に焼き付けた写真のこと。日本では俳優、歌手などの人気者のポートレートを、「プロマイド」とよんでいるが、これは、大正末期、映画俳優の肖像写真を商品として売り出すとき、印画紙そのままの名称ではおかしいというので案出されたものという。映画スターのプロマイド登場の第1号は、1921年(大正10)の栗島(くりしま)すみ子であった。
