Life
Life
Louis Amédée Mante reportedly developed his own process for colouring photographic prints in Paris in 1895. The process, dubbed 'Mantochrome', was very similar to the later, more famous Autochrome. He increasingly worked alongside Edmond Goldschmidt, a wealthy and talented young photographer who won a gold medal for his coloured photographs at the 1892 Paris Exposition and later married one of Mante's daughters. Mantes is said to have once lived in the same building as Edgar Degas on the rue Norvins, Paris, and Degas painted his neighbour's wife and two daughters in the pastel The Monte Family, c. 1884.
