Subject: autochrome research
I've just become interested in autochrome, and wonder if anyone knows of any
period photography books that might have talked about the process. Even
better would be some period manual with the full process detailed. If anyone
has any ideas on where I could look, please let me know.
Thanks,
Devon John <tbidjohn@mindspring.com>
