Description: Autochromes were the first commercial colour photographs. Invented in 1904 by the Lumi re brothers Auguste and Louis in Paris colour photographs caused a great sensation at the time. They were an innovation and the first way to depict the world in true - to - life colour and thus capture it for eternity. This impressive book was compiled by the two authors Dr. Maria Reitter - Kollmann and Dr. Alfred Weidinger. The scholars are leading experts on the history of colour photography at the Ober sterreichische Landes - Kultur Gmb H in Linz. The museum holds one of the most important European collections of historical autochromes. The exciting collection consists of more than 1,000 photographs by photographic pioneers such as the Archduchess Margarethe of Austria - Tuscany or from the collection of Hans Frank the founder of the first Austrian photo museum in Bad Ischl. Photographs by important photographers such as Auguste Lumi re are also part of this unique collection. In the coffee table book Autochrome the authors present the most beautiful and important pieces from this collection in their full glory. In addition to the wonderful pictures the book also provides a lot of background knowledge about the technique of this first commercially usable colour photography. Text in English and German.
