Autochromes were more popular than might be thought due to people such as Albert Kahn http://bioscopic.wordpress.com/2007/...r-albert-kahn/ .

Also Tsar Nicholas II sponsored autochrome photographs http://sechtl-vosecek.ucw.cz/en/expozice5.html#p-g .

Autochromes were also used by National Geographic magazine and other publications.
