Early Colour Photography its Contexts

项目摘要

When colour photography emerged in industrialised societies in the late nineteenth century it attracted both scientific and aesthetic interest. Over the course of nearly fifty years, from 1890 until 1935, the accessibility of colour photography changed dramatically, culminating in the widespread uptake of Eastman Kodak's Kodachrome colour reversal technology in the late 1930s. Kodachrome redefined the photographic industry. It was celebrated as the solution to nearly one hundred years of research and development concentrated on finding a way to make affordable and practical colour pictures, and was so successful that by the early 1940s it had usurped the majority of competing colour processes.This research challenges the prevailing notion that the flourishing industry for colour photography before Kodachrome resulted from continuous developments in science. It shows how transformations in capitalism and changing cultural ideas about colour contributed to the conception and delivery of colour photographic products during this period. Although most nascent colour photography enterprises failed, the sheer volume and technological diversity of processes introduced suggests an enormous amount of creative vitality on the part of a wide range of stakeholders. Through consideration of the meaning of colour in contemporary British society, and the economic and social networks that underpinned the industry, this thesis aims to establish a stronger understanding of the competitive and dynamic market for early colour photography between 1890 and 1935.

当19世纪后期在工业化社会中出现了彩色摄影，它引起了科学和美学的兴趣。从1890年到1935年，近五十年来，颜色摄影的可及性发生了巨大变化，最终导致了1930年代后期伊斯曼·柯达（Eastman Kodak）的Kodachrome颜色逆转技术的广泛吸收。 Kodachrome重新定义了摄影行业。它被庆祝为近一百年的研发解决方案，集中在寻找一种制作负担得起且实用的颜色图片的方法，并且非常成功，以至于到1940年代初期，它篡改了大多数竞争性的色彩过程。这项研究挑战了普遍的概念，即Kodachrome在持续发展的科学发展中蓬勃发展的彩色摄影产业。它显示了在此期间，资本主义和不断变化的颜色文化思想的转变如何促进颜色摄影产品的概念和交付。尽管大多数新生的彩色摄影企业都失败了，但所引入的过程的庞大的数量和技术多样性表明，广泛的利益相关者的创造力很大。通过考虑当代英国社会中色彩的意义，以及为行业支撑的经济和社会网络，该论文旨在在1890年至1935年之间对早期颜色摄影的竞争和动态市场建立更深入的了解。
