Rediscovering Ducos du Hauron's Color Photography through a Review of His Three‐Color Printing Processes and Synchrotron Microanalysis of His Prints

Abstract: Louis Ducos du Huron (1837-1920) dedicated his entire life to the elaboration of physical-chemical processes for color photography. This study aimed at highlighting his unique contribution to three-color printing through 1) an in-depth review of the many protocols he published and 2) the synchrotron-based IR and X-ray microanalysis of fragments sampled in three artworks. Ducos du Hauron's method relied on the preparation and assembly of three monochromes (red, blue, yellow). This study brings to light complex … Show more

“…Our findings have important implications for the assessment of the degradation phenomenon of lead chromate-based pigments in artworks. We know that not only drying oils but also other types of binding media, including gums, waxes, as well as oleoresinous and proteinaceous materials, were frequently employed as binding media for chrome yellows. Thus, it becomes relevant to pay attention not only to the Cr/S stoichiometry and crystalline structure of the chrome yellow pigment but also to the chemical nature of the binder that is mixed with it.…”

“…Advances in physics of light during the XIX th century helped to develop some of the most interesting photographic processes such as Ducos du Hauron's three colour process, or Gabriel Lippmann's process of interferential photography . Conversely, the use of silver halides in photography since the first half of the XIX th century led to intense research on their physico‐chemical properties and their interaction with photolytic silver nanoparticles .…”
