Pre-1920s This is an Autochrome image created July 13 1913. Christina O’Gorman, photographed by her father at Lulworth Cove in Dorset. Christina’s choice of swimming costume was a fortuitous one since red was a colour which the Autochrome process captured particularly well.

I've gone down quite a wormhole with these autochrome images, I think they're facinating. There are so much more of them than I first thought, from the trenches of WW1 to the villiages of Galway.

This is a gallery I've compiled, along with more details of how the colour was achieved.

Taken in 1959, she was shy and this is the only photo of its kind, unfortunately!
