| I had no idea color photography existed way back then. Color photos from WW2 are somewhat rare; I never imagined color photos of WW1 even existed. Great find, Mikey. | |

It did not exist and indeed color photography did start from mid 40's last century. Pictures prior to this were colored in B&W pictures and the reprinted. | |

| Excellent link and photos. This is a topical subject at the moment and the BBC are running an interesting article about tunnelling in WW1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13630203The header in Mikey's link page does give credit to the Lumiere brothers who indeed invented the first commercial colour (plate) process before WW1. Indeed the French had a big roll in colour photography long before that Kodak chappie..! | |

An autochrome was on a glass for the base, with some color pigment on top and varnish over it and a photo sensitive layer. It was invented 10 years before WW1. Interesting! I did not knew that technique. I've learned something again today | |

| For the record, the Kodak chappie's name was George Eastman. Good pun, though. | |
