Autochrome Lumiere - The first color process "Grand Public "

Autochrome Lumiere  photographic process was patent in 1903 by Lumiere brothers.
It took 4 years to industrialize the production but once achieved the success was eminent.
An average of 6000 boards/day until the 30's.

Autochrome plates required longer exposure thats why most of the cameras were under tripod and always avoiding action scenes
