Early Colour Photo of Flower Beds in Finsbury Park c1911

This photo was one of many taken by Gardens resident and colour photography pioneer Arthur E Morton.

The photo's owner, Ben Franks, wrote to me "The photo is a Lumiere Autochrome (the system using coloured potato starch granules as a colour screen). I think that it has suffered from some degree of colour shift from age which so many autochromes have."

Another image taken by Morton at around the same time is added in a comment below.

More of Morton's photos and a little more about him can be found on a HoL history post about him.

Thanks to Ben Franks for sending me the image and allowing me to publish it on HoL.
