Before the Autochrome process was perfected in France, this photograph of a landscape 
in Southern France was taken. No, it is not hand-tinted. This is a color-photograph. 
(Note: It was published in a Time/Life Book entitled "Color" in 1972, "courtesey of 
George Eastman House, Paulus Lesser.") You are looking at the birth of color 
photography seven years after the American Civil War. 130 years ago this view of 
Angouleme, France, was created by a "subtractive" method. This is the basis for all 
color photography, even today. It was taken by Louis Ducos du Hauron who proposed the 
method in 1869. It was not until the 1930's that this method was perfected for 
commercial use.
