Intriguing Color Photographs of Paris from 1914
In the image saturated world of the internet I find it hard to be “wowed” anymore but this did it for me. I stumbled across these images from the website of the little known Albert Kahn museum in Paris. Color photography did exist and these images were created by a process called autochrome that “…developed by the Lumière brothers in 1903. The technique was based on a composite of black and white emulsions passed through a series of color filters (red, blue and green) designed based on potato starch.”
