I wonder  if people were better at 
understanding the colours in Victorian photos  when colour printing was 
less common?



Remember that early photographic processes were more sensitive to blue  
shades, and less to red and yellow--so reds and even yellows will generally  
photograph as dark.  
 
I would love to know if the red is a synthetic or natural dye.
