Love will tear us apart

Tea Time in Lumière Lumicolor (1937). In the early 30′s the Lumière brothers adapted the principle of their Autochrome glass plates to film, resulting in Lumière Lumicolor roll film. Later in the decade the process was adapted to motion picture film, but while the microscopic filter screen worked well in large plates and medium format film, it proved too obtrusive for motion picture formats. While not successful as movie film, Lumicolor roll film remained in production until the 1950′s.
