Lieutenant Colonel Mervyn O’Gorman, a distinguised Aeronautical engineer, took these autochromes of his daughter Christina at and near Lulworth Cove in Dorset, in 1913.
The photographs are in the collection of the Royal Photographic Society.
I think we have almost become programmed to thinking of the past in black and white. There is something quite moving about seeing it in colour as the shots turn from static artifacts into something very immediate and tangible, wonderful…….
Simply beautiful. Could almost be a modern fashion shoot.
It’s just as Sarah said - the beach pictures and Christina’s demeanour look so modern. Amazing!
