"A kind of Swiss Army knife of a book, covering not only the
Lumière family's pioneering photographic inventions, dating to the
mid-1880s, but also the history of color photography and technical
details of processes and preservation. . . . A brief but beautiful
portfolio of images concludes each chapter of this book, which will
be an essential resource for students and collectors of
photography."--Bookforum
"[This book] resents an indispensible compendium of rare images
from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, an era we tend to
think of in black and white. . . . This volume provides an
authoritative account of the development of the autochrome process,
including every fascinating dead end."--Wall Street Journal
"Highly recommended."--Choice
"The Getty Conservation Institute has been releasing a series of
amazing photo history books and this fabulous recent addition . . .
is no exception. . . . This book belongs on the shelf of any
serious photographer, curator, maker, or history buff. It's a
fabulously interesting read filled with quality information and
wonderful photographs and images."--f295
