It is a book review of the book "The Autochomes of J.H. Lartigue" Published
by Viking Press,
New York 1981.
The magazine reproduces several Autochome images and also describes the
fabrication of the Autochrome
plates. Should be easy to find if your local library has been around for the
last 20 years.
Also, take a look at Sheila Metzner's images in Camera Arts Jan-Feb 1981
Volume 1 Number 1. The
magazine does a nice job of reproducing her wonderfully romantic colur
images that were made with the
Fresson process or, more accurately: "the Quadrichchromie Fresson process
which coats, exposes, and
develops a single sheet of paper four times, through the colour order of
cyan, yellow, magenta and black."
They go on to say that "the matte finish and lack of relief in the black's
in Metzner's photographs are typical
results for this painstaking process". Can't find a filter in Photoshop to
do that!
I still miss Camera Arts magazine. Nothing has has filled that void.
