Autochrome

In 1907, after shifting gears from a focus on motion pictures towards a focus on still images, Auguste and Louis Lumiere invented the Autochrome Lumiere, the first commercially successful color process. It used microscopic grains of potato that were dyed different colors which were then coated by glass. Some of the most famous autochrome artists include Jules Gervais-Courtellemont, Arnold Genthe, and Olive Edis, and an example of a contemporary Autochrome artist is Frédéric Mocellin. Below are some examples of Autochrome images.
