Autochrome Lumiere is an early color photography process patented in 1903 by the Lumière brothers in France. Photographers used to experiment with this technique a lot at that time, often using every day objects. This resulted in many pretty and not so slick photographic studies like the ones below. For us, at Mimi Berlin, and for you, our friends a peek at every day life of those days.. Buyah!
