[BGB] Passchendaele Color Photos

[GORDON BLISS]

According to one of my references, there were color photography processes in the early 1900s, including 1 invented in France in 1907. These were cumbersome and/or complicated and only saw very limited use - they also usually needed large format cameras, complicated multi-part filters, and other cumbersome equipment. Large scale color photography started in 1935-36 with the introduction of Kodachrome and Agfacolor Neu

    Very good. I wonder if these are old B&W's that were "colorized"? Didn't think they had color film back then. Of course, I obviously could be mistaken, not being a photography expert :-). At any rate, thanks for the link, good stuff.
  Carl, you're welcome.  I'm not sure whether they were entirely colorized.  According to Wikipedia, some color photography was done before WWI.
