Lumière Lumicolor
Description
“Lumière Lumicolor (1933–1953): rolls and pack films on celluloid base. Individual colored grains cannot be seen with the naked eye, but clumps of grains of the same color give the image a pointillist effect (Fig. 2.71). Starch grains are smaller and more regular than those of autochrome plates. Under polarizing light, the potato starch grains will show a typical spherical cross in the center. Black pigment filler is present.”
