Les Autochromes Lumière: La Couleur Inventée
Lyon, 1903: Louis Lumière invented colour photography with the "autochrome" plate. It was truly an artistic revolution; and yet, although 30 years later over forty million plates had been sold worldwide, this extraordinary process sank into oblivion.
In 1995, A. SCHEIBLI Editions published a reference work of fifty autochrome photographs, dating from before 1914, from the Lumière family's private collections. The book has since been exported to twelve countries, and won the Rhône General Council's 1996 Art Book Prize; in addition, it was offered to the Heads of State during the G7 Summit in Lyon.
The greatest care has been taken in producing this new edition, which offers exceedingly high quality reproductions of trope l'oeil autochrome photographs.
