Mervyn O'Gorman Autochromes

[Preston]

These eight autochromes are hauntingly beautiful. I thought I'd pass this on.

The original plates were made in 1913.

What a cool process, and color brings these turn of the century people alive in my mind.

These get wheeled out from time to time and always cause a bit of a stir ... And rightly so, of course.

A friend of mine posted one on facebook, without further info, asking people to guess the date ... Almost all the answers were 1960s/70s/80s

The national Geographic Society has something like 11,000 Autochromes. A lot (maybe all) have been digitized. Here are the ones on Tumblr:
