One of the first colour photography processes (early 1900s), Autochrome, produced muted, desaturated colours which are a delight to these 2023 eyes. Feast yours here on a whole album of them.
“If an Autochrome was well made and has been well preserved, color values can be very good. The dyed starch grains are somewhat coarse, giving a hazy, pointillist effect, with faint stray colors often visible, especially in open light areas such as skies.”
