Please note that the dates in each Autochrome are not as accurate as they may be. The photos are dated as they were found in the respective sources. Also note that while Getty Images dates all Autochromes by Laing in 1908 the Science and Media Museum dates them between 1910-1914. At least the location seems not to be a matter for debate.
