Hello Janine,
Yes, please send me your e-mail and I can send a picture of the Swan book.
I have enrolled on a 3 day carbon print course, so can participate in the demonstration myself.
The 3 colour process and autochromes are fascinating, but I know little of them, although I do own some autochromes and once had a MIKUT camera in stock.
Regards
Paul

Mark probably told you that I am working on a PhD thesis that tries to zoom in on the autochrome in Britain. If you like, you can contact me via email on: caroline.fuchs@univie.ac.at.
