The World’s First Color Photograph

Posted on October 12th, 2007 The Internet Journalist No comments

James Clerk Maxwell, a mathematician, was the first person in the world who discovered a way to take a color photo. Using the ingenious method of combining Red, Blue and Green using filters to produce a color picture, he was able to represent color.

He may of been the pioneer, but he wasn’t the photographer, Thomas Sutton was, under intense supervision of course. The photo was taken three different time, of a ribbon, each with a different color filter in front of the lens. This was then combined with 3 projectors with the Red, Blue and Green filters, which resulted in the color image you can see below.

For more information, check out the Wikipedia article History of Photography

and World’s Famous Photo’s, which is where I found this interesting bit of info.
