A panoramic view of Agen, France in 1877 by Louis Ducos du Hauron, a French pioneer of color photography (cropped and retouched version). (This image was originally misidentified as Angoulême)New scan by

This is a historic image from 1877, one of the very first color photographs printed on a paper base. (comment added by Janke)
The du Hauron article had an external jump for pic, considered to be the very first colour photo. I decided to upload a 886x634 retouched version. Changes include contrast and saturation.
Oppose original. Not a very good scan. I've seen much better reproductions. Furthermore, this isn't the first color photo - it was made 11 16 years earlier, by
James Clerk Maxwell. Also, not in any article, a requirement. --

Support new scan, 1548x1132 pixels, which I just scanned and uploaded. Historically very significant, added to the
Louis Ducos du Hauron article. A correction, too: it was taken in 1877, not 1872. Note how the cyan, red and yellow images overflow the edges of the photo, showing the
subtractive color process. I added it to
color photography, too. --

Strong Support. The historical context alone would make me support this image, but also, I find it very visually appealing. I particularly like being able to see the edges in the new scan.
