Thats a color photography. Not a colorized picture. Eastman Collection. This picture was made in 1910.To make an Autochrome plate at their factory, the Lumieres began with a clear sheet of glass, which was coated with a thin, transparent layer of sticky varnish. The microscopic dots of dyed potato starch, blended into a fine grey powder, were then carefully dusted onto the sticky layer. This was precision work for the time, because it was important to have only one layer of dots. Next, the dots were squashed and flattened by running the glass plate through rollers exerting tremendous pressure-- more than five tons per square inch-- without shattering the glass, of course.
After that, extremely fine black dust was used to fill up any spaces remaining between the flattened dots.
