some photographs that may be of interest .....

[Christine Worobec]

Dear Natalie: Yes, it was the 3-colour lens method. I very recently
heard a short presentation on how the photographs were digitized at
the Library of Congress. Best to contact the European Reading Room at
LC, and they will provide you with more information.

Very best wishes,
