Paris about 100 years ago
I saw this self-explanatory URL posted to rec.travel.europe:
http://curiouseggs.com/extremely-rar...y-1900s-paris/ And, considering the appearance of Greg's name, I thought I'd post it here. -- Mark Brader "I used to own a mind like a steel trap. Toronto Perhaps if I'd specified a brass one, it wouldn't have rusted like this." --Greg Goss "I have a mind like a steel trap. It's hard to pry open." --Michael Wares |

The "curiouseggs" one works fine. At first I thoght those photos must be from a hand-coloring process, but I see that it is a true,if complicated, color process invented by the Lumiere Bros. http://www.paris1914.com/p/about.html Probably the same process as used in these early photos of Saint Petersburg: http://www.gridenko.com/pg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Prokudin-Gorsky Prokudin-Gorsky's pictures were technically better. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

No, it's a completely different process. The Lumière process: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autochrome_Lumi%C3%A8re Prokudin-Gorsky used three separate plates, possibly exposed consecutively. The article at the Library of Congress has a bit about the camera(s) he used: http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/making.html But although Prokudin-Gorsky knew about the Autochrome process, the Wikipedia article about him says "No Autochromes by Prokudin-Gorsky are known to survive." -- Joe Makowiec http://makowiec.org/ Email: http://makowiec.org/contact/?Joe Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |
