I have found a text in french in an old "Agenda Lumiere-Jougla 1928"
this is
called:

PRINCIPE DE LA METHODE LUMIERE POUR LA PHOTOGRAPHIE
DIRECTE DES
OBJETS AVEC LEURS COULEURS NATURELLES
Les Plaques Autochrome Lumiere

It's
a 5 pages quite dense and descriptive text.
I can post it here to the list
or to you personnaly
or send you the graphic scanned file of those pages.

If you read french. Just tell me.

(potato starch dimension must vary from
10/1000 to 15/1000millimeter
dyes are stable orange, green, and violet dyes
mixed with a kind of glu and laminated
then the space between the starch
grains is filled with fine coal grains
and one more time laminated
a
13x18cm plate contain about 140,000,000 grains)
etc...

Autochromes

Does anyone have any technical information regarding the
dyes used, the
starch size, how the starch is dyed and
finally how do you
apply it to the surface of the unexposed film?
