There was an interest in color photography from the very earliest phase of the development of photography. The earliest commercial step was attempts at colorizing by tunting black and white images. And we see that with all the early processes and formats. This was not a pefect sollution. Studios offered tinting ooptions. At first only minor color elements were added such as rosy cheeks and gold rings. This was common with both Dags and Ambros. There were some more elaborate efforts, but full color tinting was more common with albumen and silver nitrate studio prints. These tinted prints very widely. Some wre prints with splashes of color crudely applied. Others were beautifully done and give the impression of a color image. Such beautifully done images were expensive to produce. Actual color photography appeared in the late-19th century, but were expensive and complicated. It took more time for commercial processes to be developed. This occurred in the inter-War era (America, France, and Germany), but it was not until the post-World War II era that color photography became more reasonably priced and widely adopted and prices.
