They are much, much better than autochromes. They were shot as separation negatives (you can see the effects of the time delay in water, sometimes in clouds or foliage if there's enough breeze). He originally showed them to people using a custom slide projector with color filters. The negatives reside at the Library of Congress, and they have both restored versions of many of the photos, and the original scans of many of the photos, on their website and available for download, so you can play with them yourself. <http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/> -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
