Picture of the day
A
nude study
in
autochrome
by
Arnold Genthe
. Autochrome was patented by the
Lumière brothers
in 1903 and became the dominant
colour photography
process for over two decades. It used dyed
potato starch
in its plates to provide colour. Because of additional filters necessary for the process, it required longer
exposure
than
black-and-white
plates.
