21 Of The Oldest Color Photos Showing What The World Looked Like 100 Years Ago
Before 1907, photography was generally monochromatic. Things changed after the French brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière invented a new way to transform photographs into vibrant colors. The new invention was called Autochrome Lumière.
The Lumière brother's invention used layers of dyed potato starch and light-sensitive emulsion to create vibrant photographs without the need for additional colorization. Before this invention, photographers had to use different dyes and pigments to color their photographs.
The Autochrome Lumière soon became obsolete after Kodak brought their new invention of Kodachrome film in 1935. The rise of digital photography in 2009 ultimately led Kodachrome to meet the same fate as Autochrome Lumière.
These stunning century-old color photographs show what the world looked like in color over 100 years ago.
