[ ::: ♥Keep_Mailing♥ ::: ]™ These 1900s Colored Photos are the First Ever Taken...

 

 

Normally, we'd expect old photos to be black and white. But these stunning photos taken at the turn of the 20th century reveals that color photography has been around for a lot longer than you think. Before 1907, anybody who wanted a color photograph had to have the image colored in by a professional colorist who had to color in the photos using different dyes and pigments.

Two French brothers, Auguste and Louis Lumière changed all that using a technique called Autocrome Lumière. Using dyed grains of potato starch and light-sensitive emulsion, they were able to produce vibrant photos without adding colorization. Even though the process was difficult to manufacture and was also somewhat expensive, it was still a popular technique among amateur photographers.

 

While the brothers revolutionized the world of color photography, Kodak later took things to a whole new level with the invention of Kodachrome film, created in 1935. This came to be a lighter and more convenient alternative than the Autochrome Lumière which became obsolete soon after. As we have come to see, Kodachrom was later overtaken by the rise of digital photography - this method was stopped in 2009. Nevertheless, these more advanced methods of taking photos would not have been possible without the work of Auguste and Louis Lumière.

 

Here are some stunning century-old color photographs using their groundbreaking technique.
