mighty purty!

Those are the original untouched colors? Amazing!

Yes! The only picture I've ever seen from the Victorian period that was color, and the real thing.

And it was not that long ago, really! My grandmother was born in 1910 and she died last November at the age of 102.

Wow. Chris, you probably have some amazing pictures of her from the 1910's. You should post 1 if you've got them available.

That's a thought. I'll ask my aunt if she got any online.

You should. Even something from the 20's would be interesting. Or the 30's even.

I will have to ask my aunt to upload pictures online. My grandmother had an interesting life.

I would be curious to know what color technology was used to produce this picture way back then.

I wondered that as well. I'm not sure.

Yeah! A research topic. :-)

Looks like it could be this technique:
Three black-and-white photographs were taken through red, green and blue filters

It looks exactly like that technique. Thanks Pierre. The article you attached is fantastic.
