Mervyn O’Gorman :: Christina on the Beach, July 13th, 1913. An evocative portrait taken on the beach at Lulworth Cove. Christina’s choice of swimming costume was a fortuitous one since red was a colour which the autochrome process captured particularly well. | src Science and Media Museum Blog

Mervyn O’Gorman :: Christina on the Beach, 1913. The comparatively long exposure time has given the sea a glassy quality and the large aperture setting and narrow depth of field has put Durdle Door, in the background, into soft focus. | src Science and Media Museum Blog

Leendert Blok :: Floriculture, tulips, flowers, bulbs. Four variegated tulips. Example of early color photography using the Autochrome process. [The Netherlands, about 1930]. | src Nationaal Archief ~ Collectie Spaarnestad and Flow Magazine

Blok applied this first practical color process to photograph flowers for Dutch growers in the Bollenstreek. Using orange, violet and green colored very fine potato starch granules which act as a filter and which are applied to a black and white positive on glass, an image is created that can be viewed as a color slide. | src Nationaal Archief ~ Collectie Spaarnestad and Flow Magazine
