Everyone else in the frame is posed very naturally, but she's the only one who struck a very *traditionally* feminine pose. Interesting!

Feels like Unreal....like a dream.
More than 20 people in the water like a family and everyone in the water is looking at the camera, and ALL of them are dressing black suits!
The composition is really really good. It seems to be a painting composition.
THIS IS ODD.

Alison, Curator of Photographs says:

No handcoloring….it’s an autochrome, a complicated early color process using microscopic grains of potato starch which had been dyed orange, green and violet and embedded in pine pitch, beeswax or a combination of the two on a piece of glass which was also coated with light sensitive silver halide emulsion. (There was also lampblack to fill in the spaces between starch grains and a final shellac coat to the plate) The different colored starch grains functioned as color filters. The finished picture remains on the glass and was viewed with back lighting, which accounts for the luminosity of these images and the slight graininess of the starch makes for a pointillist or impressionist effect. IMO they are among the most beautiful of photographic technologies, but the color is not stable, the images fade easily when exposed to light and when easier processes came along, the autochrome more or less disappeared. We have thousands of them at Eastman House that we never exhibit because of their fragility. So happy we can share them with you this way.
