Book of the week: Colour Mania

Exquisite yet too fragile to exhibit, one of the world's greatest collections of autochromes is presented to a wide audience for the first time.

Autochromes are so fragile and light sensitive that they cannot be displayed in public - this book presents the only chance to see the Victoria & Albert Museum's internationally significant collection.

An opportunity to travel in time and understand a tour de force in photographic technology, Colour Mania will delight anyone who desires to experience the past in colour.
