Micro camera c1915<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Like Leonardo before him, a Frenchman<\/a> came up with all the ways to create colour photography long before technology made them possible. One concept was to catch the image simultaneously on three B&W plates, each plate exposed through a filter.<\/p>\n

This dream came true when plates could be made sensitive to a wider spectrum of visible light and cameras like the Hicro came to market.<\/p>\n

In our journal, issue 38-1 (May-June 2012) editor Lansdale explains, “Our cover [see photo at left – adjusted with Topaz Photo AI] depicts a small camera from 1915 wherein Henry Hess and Frederic E. Ives tried to introduce a more simplified colour camera to the market.<\/p>\n

“It produced three separate B&W separation negatives through a most ingenious system of mirror [and] tri-pa[c]k plates. It came to an end when America entered the First World War in 1917. See the full revelation starting on page 5.”<\/p>\n

Bob found his Hicro camera in October, 2011 at the PhotoHistory Symposium down in Rochester, NY. The detailed and well researched article beginning on page 5 of this issue \u00a0was read in hard copy by members back then \u00a0– or if members joined more recently, on their personal DVD which we mailed (covers Photographic Canadiana<\/em> volumes 1 – 40). Not a member? Just follow the steps to the right, or view the MEMBERSHIP menu item above. Sign up and the DVD will be sent to you via Canada Post. Note: both hard copy and the DVD version have some colour photographs created by the camera!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
