World's first color photographs!

Stills from 102 years agoThese photographs are from 1913, one year before the start of World War I. And yet, they have an extremely modern feel and a dreamlike quality that wouldn't seem out of place in an Instagram feed.

They were taken using a process known as Autochrome, which debuted in 1907. It was invented by the Lumière brothers and was the earliest widely available color photography technique before film caught up in the 1930s.
The photographer is Mervyn O'Gorman, a famed British engineer. The girl is believed to be his daughter Christina, captured on a day at the beach in Lulworth Cove, southern England.
