[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Some time ago, I saw, on-line, a series of color photos by, I believe, a French photographer, which dated back near that time. They showed men in military uniforms, artillery pieces, etc. I can't recall the web site. I have no idea of the process that he used, but suspect it was complex. Wikipedia says color experiments started as early as 1840.
