Dear etienne

Thank you very much for that clarification.

Having seen more than 100 Lippmann color photographs
which also utilise interference generated colors, I was
quite certain of the additional facts you now mention in
your current post. It is not surprising that one might
have trouble reproducing and or viewing such colors. 

Now, to see some of these images, either originals, or
somebody's recreation.... 

Does anyone know who holds these?
