Hi Dick In the Summer 1994 Volume 18 No 2 of the History Of Photography
Magazine there appeared a very interesting series of articles on
Autochrome on Being The Autochrome Process from concept to Prototype by
Bertrand Lavedrine and Jean-Paul Gandolfo woth checking out.I would love
to see a modern day equivalant of this beautiful process.I was recently
reading a book on Moholy Nagy where he draws similarities between
autochrome and Seurat.In the next issue of the Alt Photo Review i
mention a book recently published with the illustrations printed on
acetate so one gets more of a feel of the original.Hope you find this of
interest.
