Girl on a balcony

An autochrome photograph of a girl sat on a balcony, taken by Etheldreda Janet Laing, c. 1910.

The girl, probably one of Laing's daughters, sits on the stone balustrade with a bowl of flowers. Laing regularly photographed her daughters in the ground of their home, Bury Knowle House in Oxfordshire. The autochrome process was the first really practicable and commercially successful process for colour photography.
