NOTE
ABOUT THE
NEGS:
IN 1940 WHEN LOUIS STRAUSS
CLOSED
THE STRAUSS STUDIO HE FORTUNATELY LEFT THE
NEGATIVES
WITH EDWYN STUDIO
(
IN OPERATION SINCE 1931).
IT
WAS FROM THIS RECENTLY CLOSED STUDIO THAT I
PURCHASED
THE REMAINING MATERIALS. IT WAS
APPARENT THAT
NOT ALL THE STRAUSS NEGS HAD BEEN SAVED, BUT
WAS
VERY PLEASED TO HAVE SAVED THE FEW BOXES OF
GLASS
THAT WERE EXTANT..THERE WERE 2 DAYS BEFORE
DEMOLITION
OF THE BUILDING - ALL CONTENTS WOULD
HAVE
BEEN DESTROYED. - TOM YANUL 9-3-05

THE
AUTOCHROME COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY PROCESS WAS INVENTED BY THE LUMIERE BROS.
OF
FRANCE, BEING MADE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE IN THE U.S. IN 1906-07 ACCORDING
TO PUBLISHED MATERIALS.
THE
FOLLOWING PAGE(S) DISPLAY A SMALL GROUP OF AUTOCHOMES RECENTLY SAVED
FROM THE LANDFILL (AUG 2005) ALONG WITH A MODEST AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL NEGATIVES
FROM THE J.C. STRAUSS STUDIO OF ST. LOUIS. ALTHOUGH THE PROCESS
(PHYSICAL MATERIALS) WAS REPORTEDLY AVAILABLE UNTIL 1940 OR SO,
THESE
STRAUSS AUTOCHROMES SEEM CERTAINLY TO HAVE BEEN MADE BY J.C. HIMSELF
EARLY
IN THE 20TH C.
