Excerpt from Colour Photography: And Other Recent Developments of the Art of the Camera

An exquisite automatic delicacy resulting in an image of unyielding exactness - that, then, is the physical basis Of this autochrome process; and our task is to discover what manner Of azsthetic structure it is possible to erect on such a base. And when we examine the case for Autochrome in this bare way, picked clean and reduced to its simplest elements, two decidedly ominous Circumstances begin to thrust themselves forward. For we find, in the first place, that the exquisite automatic delicacy is Of such a jealous nature that it becomes the stern enemy Of all subsequent delicacies. And we find, in the second, that the unyielding exactness of the image is veracious in that fanatical way which is really a kind Of fierce falsehood, that the image is truer to Nature than Nature is true to herself, so implacably precise that it is in effect a distortion.
