Abstract
THE production of colour by photography has been accomplished in two radically different ways up to the present time. In one, the so-called Lippmann process, the waves of light form directly in the photographic film laminæ of varying thickness, depending on the wave-length or colour of the light. These thin laminæ show interference colours in reflected light in the same way that the soap-bubble does, and these colours approximate closely to the tints of the original.
