Some of the 1st Color Photos Ever Taken 1913
Gorgeous pics! Gorgeous young woman...wish there was background info on her, if she died in the war or lived a long life, etc... (Scroll down for pics) "Would you believe that this photograph was taken more than a century ago? This young woman, who looks like someone who might accidentally spill PBR on your shoes at an Avett Brothers concert, was probably born around 1899 or 1900. These photographs were taken on the beach at Lulworth Cove, England in 1913, a year before World War I shattered the placidity of Europe. The young woman's name is Christina O'Gorman. The photos were taken by her father, Mervyn O'Gorman, a 42-year-old British engineer who was experimenting with an early form of color photography called Autochrome Lumière, which used potato starch on a glass plate as a color filter. These are some of the earliest color photographs in existence. Christina is almost certainly dead by now. Though there are no records of her life, we can assume that she probably died in the 1980s or '90s. In these photos, however, she's still young. Still pretty. She still has her whole life before her. A life that has now come and gone. One that's been over for decades now. And all that remains are these few photographs taken on pleasant afternoon in 1913." http://happyplace.someecards.com/pho...tgrandparents/  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Some of the 1st Color Photos Ever Taken 1913
It's amazing to think that we went from first color photos to iPads in less than one century. Just imagine what we'll have by 2113.

And to think, the girl in the photo is now either a rotting corpse or a bunch of bones... or some ashes.
