Three Ladies Of Lyon

From Stuart Humphryes at BabelColour.  Stuart restores and enhances old color autochromes, but does not colorise them.  This photo is from 1910, taken by Professor Fernand Arloing.  I enjoy the feeling conveyed here on a hazy late summer afternoon.

The autochrome process, considered the first practicable method of color photography, was invented by Auguste and Louis Lumière.  You can read about the process here.  The Lumiere brothers are best known for their invention of the cinema.  You can view one of their earliest efforts, from 1896, here.
