DESCRIPTION

Autochrome of a dahlia bouquet.
Stereoscopic view on glass plate.
Format: 6 × 13 cm.

In a tree-lined garden, with the house faintly visible in the background, a bouquet of colorful dahlias sits in a ceramic pot placed on a table covered with an orange damask fabric.

“This is not a snapshot, but the reproduction of a frozen and composed moment, illuminated by an impression — a sensation of color generated by countless touches of pigment shaped by the brush of light.”
— Institut Lumière

AND IN ADDITION…

Patented in 1903 and presented to the Académie des Sciences in 1904, the Autochrome Lumière plate, invented by Louis Lumière, is the first color photographic process.
Its innovation lies in the use of tinted potato starch grains, which capture and filter light to produce color.
