The Telegraph had a piece on Etheldreda Laing, an amateur photographer who started taking colour (Autochrome) photographs back in 1908.  Unfortunately, the Telegraph doesn't really do galleries...or full size images.*  These are excerpted instead from the slideshow (of 19) here: http://all-that-is-interesting.com/etheldreda-laing.  Not bad for a hundred years ago.


* One other thing the Telegraph doesn't do is check their links. 'www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk%29', Really DT ?  One-click, that's all it takes.
