First 3D colour photo |
|||
|
Frederick Eugene Ives (1856-1937) was making colour stereoscopic photographs (Kromograms) by 1895 [Roberts (2007)]. Separation transparencies for an 1895 stereo Kromogram may be found at the Museum of the History of Science. Two 1897 stereo Kromograms are reproduced in colour (resynthesised in 1999) at Forgotten Futures. The first three-colour holograms, viewable in white light, were created in 1966, by Lawrence Lin, Keith Pennington, George W. Stroke and A. Labeyrie. [Johnston 2006: 202]

This stereo Kromogram of the Tower of London was taken by Ives in 1898. The black lines around each colour separation were cropping lines put there by Ives. The uppermost was marked for the red filter, the centre for the violet, the bottom for the green. All three separations are on one glass plate. The original negative is held by the American Museum of Photography. There appears to be a bargee or lighterman in the foreground. If so, he seems the best candidate so far. A further possibility appears at Ignomini, though this is undated. No information has yet been located, on the earliest 3D colour photographic portrait, of either a male or a female sitter.

Earliest-born person to be photographed in 3D colour |
|||
|
No significant information yet located. In the absence of information on stills, movie information is the best available: Leo Curley (1878-1960) appeared in the 1953 House of Wax, and seems to have been the oldest person to appear in either this or 1952's Bwana Devil.

No significant information yet located. In the absence of information on stills, movie information is the best available: Riza Royce (1903-80) also appeared in House of Wax, and seems to have been the oldest woman to appear in either this or 1952's Bwana Devil.
