Iris and Janet, 1914 - picture of the day

An autochrome of Iris and Janet, 1914, by Etheldreda Janet Laing
Iris and Janet sit in the garden of their family home, Bury Knowle, in Headington, Oxford. Laing, a gifted amateur photographer and artist, photographed her daughters many times in and around their home. The autochrome process (patented by the Lumière brothers in 1903) continued to be the most popular colour photographic process until the early 1930s
