BY JULIUS CAESAR STRAUSS
IMAGES & TEXT COPYRIGHT 2005 BY THOMAS YANUL

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.
