This is definitely one of my favourite autochrome enhancements from the First World War. The composition is like a classical painting, the light & colour are just sublime, and the clarity strips away the last 110 years to make it resemble a modern-day re-enactment. This wonderful ragtag team of French territorial infantrymen was taken by Jean-Baptiste Tournassoud in Oise, northern France, in 1914. They wear a hotch-potch combination of old and new uniform styles, of horizon blue with bright red pantaloons. I love this one to bits. 😍
It is original colour (not colourised)
