The Art of the Autochrome: The Birth of Color Photography Tapa dura - 1993

Iowa City: University of Iowa Press, 1993. Hardcover. VG; Like new. Blue cloth with silver lettering on spine; Glossy color illus. dj.; 185 pp.; 75 color plates;. Contents as follows: Foreward by Merry A. Foresta -- Preface -- Structures of recollection -- Color fever -- Seccessions, sex, and tranquility -- Color abandoned -- Color triumphant -- Voyages -- Returns -- Notes -- The plates -- Notes to the plates -- A bibliography of the Autochrome.

First presented in Paris in 1904 by the Lumiere brothers, autochrome has a nuance and fragility that seems to impose its own aesthetic on practitioners. In one example of the 75 included, Karl Struss's 1910 work, Boardwalk, L.I. , has a charm that eludes today's more glaring standards, in part, perhaps, because the muted softness inherent in the process mitigates the bright sunlight indicated by the numerous raised parasols.
