Difficult

there's a photographer I think who lives ( lived? ) in Texas who makes autochromes. I see him on IG from time to time, you might be able to find him on that place that ends in "O" under the handle "photochemist".
Thanks John
I recall it is a VERY difficult process
Just ordered the book, cheapest using Abe Books and shipped free from London

99% sure that Sheila Metzner didn't use the Autochrome process, but her images certainly had the "Autochrome look" to them. In the 1980s emulated the "Autochrome look" by shooting 35mm High Speed Ektachrome, processing it in C-41, and then making C prints.

IIRC, Sheila Metzner's work was Fresson prints, not Autochrome.
A nice book!
