Synopsis
Offering unprecedented access to the V&A's collection of autochromes--one of the greatest collections of early color photography in the world-- Color Mania presents the pioneering photographic process in its full, vibrant, and painterly beauty. Fragile and light sensitive, autochromes cannot be displayed in public, and so this volume provides a rare and breathtaking opportunity to view them true to size. Invented by the Lumière brothers, who were also pioneers of cinema, the autochrome was the first widely available color photography process and remained popular for two decades. Upon its commercial release in 1907, it was eagerly embraced by Pictorialist photographers and advocated by its leading member Alfred Stieglitz, who predicted "soon the world will be color-mad." Newly photographed specially for this book, the V&A's abundant collection of autochromes is brought to the public for the very first time. Organized thematically and with sections focusing on the photographers who engaged with the process, Color Mania is built upon the latest scholarship and research by curator Catlin Langford and includes insights into how these extraordinary photographs are being preserved for future generations. An opportunity to travel in time and understand a tour de force in photographic technology, Color Mania will delight anyone who desires to experience the past in color., Autochromes--plates madefrom a pioneering colorphotography process--are toolight sensitive to exhibit, andas such one of the world'sgreatest collections has beenhidden from view until now., Exquisite yet too fragile to exhibit, one of the world's greatest collections of autochromes - a pioneering colour photography process - is presented to a wide audience for the first time.

Autochromes are so fragile and light sensitive that they cannot be displayed in public - this book presents the only chance to see the V&A's internationally significant collection. Invented by the Lumière brothers - also pioneers of cinema - the autochrome was the first widely available colour photography process.

- e***c (7)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe books came in great condition! They came quickly with no issues with USPS and were even packaged in pretty colored tissue paper. The packaging was well secured and box was sturdy. They came exactly as the seller described and were in better condition than I thought even knowing they lived their lives in the library for some time! This series is not in print any longer so I jumped at the chance for the price I paid for the volumes I was getting considering how thick the later volumes are.
