autochromes - colour photography from the first world war
i came across these today. i wasn’t looking for colour shots specifically, but some of these images are stunning. also found a second gallery which doesn’t state explicitly that they’re autochrome, but i would imagine they’d have to be, given the age.
the autochrome process is celebrating it’s 100th birthday this year, having been patented in 1903, but not properly marketed until 1907. you can read all about it at wikipedia, and check out a few of the links at the bottom of the entry for some more shots.
pretty incredible
