Now that is an excellent reminder that old-e time-y clothing was most definitely not drab and dark. Beautiful!

Re: [h-cost] lovely find
Just what I thought! How wonderful to have the photo as well - but looking at the photo I would never have guessed the dress was bright red. I seem to remember that when we only had black and white TV I was more used to recognising colours from their shading - watching snooker was not as pointless as it sounds. I wonder if people were better at understanding the colours in Victorian photos when colour printing was less common?

I wonder if people were better at understanding the colours in Victorian photos when colour printing was less common? There used to be a page showing the color registrations of different real-world colors depending on the old-fashioned BW photo process used -- I found it via this list 5+ years ago. However, the page is no longer there and I haven't been able to find it again. There was a sort of color wheel in black and white with the real-world color listed, for each process. Some of the old types registered yellow as a light color, and some registered it as a dark color, and some of the other colors likewise had varying representations. It was very interesting. cv ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

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.
