The Dufaycolor book

Dufay-Chromex Limited, author · 1930 · London : Dufay-Chromex Limited · 6 pictures

A 1930 London instruction book published by Dufay-Chromex Limited, a colour photography firm, explaining its Dufaycolor process to amateur photographers and readers in the Getty Research Institute collection. The pictures are plain line drawings and printed colour swatches: diagonal striped and woven resist patterns, a cross-section of film layers with labelled bands, and a hand cutting tape. A designer might take the woven stripe and reseau grid patterns and the clean diagrammatic layering for graphic motifs.
