The lowly potato gave the world sustenance, French fries, and would you believe color photography? In 1903, two French inventors and photographers, Auguste and Louis Lumière, used the potato as the basis for their patented process in creating color photographs, or Autochromes as they were called. It was a simple but ingenious technique—crush potatoes into tiny particles; separate these minuscule starch particles into three; add red, violet and green dye; mix onto a glass plate; brush off the excess; flatten the dyed particles onto the plate between two rollers—thus creating microscopic color filters; fill in any gaps with soot; brush with light-sensitive silver bromide. Voila! You have a photographic plate ready to take color pictures. The Lumières were also behind early advances in motion pictures but the brothers thought there was no future in movies and stuck to developing color photography. By 1907, the Lumières’ technique had proved so successful it infected the photographic world with “color fever.” Photographers across Europe and America (including talented amateurs like Gustave Eiffel better known for his Parisien tower) started producing a gallery’s worth of pictures—from portraits to nudes. To get an idea of scale, take for example...

The Gibson Girl: an iconic representation of the beautiful and independent Euro-American woman at the turn of the 20th century. ABOUT GIBSON GIRLS: The drawings of American society by Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) defined the age contemporaneously and retrospectively from the 1890s through the early 1900s. His images of women, in particular, were so influential on the development of the American feminine style that the term "Gibson Girls" became part of the lexicon. The Gibson Girl was the personification of the feminine ideal of physical attractiveness. To the artist, she represented a composite of “thousands of American girls.” The Gibson girl’s neck and waist were thin, and her hair piled high upon her head in the contemporary bouffant, pompadour, and chignon fashions.
