Portrait of a woman
- Made:
- circa 1910 in Bury Knowle House
An autochrome photograph portrait of a woman with a book, taken by Etheldreda Janet Laing, c. 1910.
The photograph is possibly a self-portrait. The autochrome process was the first really practicable and commercially successful process for colour photography. The autochrome process was comparatively slow and required a lot of light. Indoor photographs are therefore less common, most photographers preferring outdoor scenes in bright sunlight.
