Top 11 Photos That Were Historical Firsts

8. The Earliest Colored Landscape Photo

When we think about landscape photography, the first thing that crosses our minds is most likely to be an outstanding picture of a nice scenery. People had an interest for landscape pieces of art way before the development of photography. Think about paintings.

In 1877,  Louis Arthur Ducos du Hauron captured the first colored landscape photo, a picture of Southern France, that has a vintage appeal and faded colors. It was named ‘Landscape of Southern France.’ 

The main process behind this is called trichrome, meaning that you can get any color by only using the primary colors, red, blue and yellow.
