A Moment in Photographic History:
Early photography was hampered by photographic emulsions sensitivity to only blue and white light. German chemist Herman Vogel discovered the proper dyes to add to emulsion to create plates which were orthochromatic (sensitive to all visible spectrum light except red and dark orange.)

A Photographic Quote of Note:
My electric light installation is perhaps the more powerful in London. Photographs superior to daylight, Pictures can now be taken in any weather and at any time.
