He was born in Langon , Gironde . In the years following his (unpublished) paper of 1862 he set out practical ways of recording colour images using both additive (red, green, blue) and subtractive (cyan, magenta, yellow) methods. In 1868 he patented some of his methods and in 1869 he wrote ''Les Couleurs en Photographie.'' The earliest known color photograph to date is the ''Landscape of Southern France'' {Link without Title} , taken by the subtractive method in 1872. He died in Agen .
