Tartan Ribbon, Photograph Taken By James Clerk Maxwell In 1861.

This photograph is considered the first durable colour photographic image, and the very first made by the three-colour method Maxwell first suggested in 1855.
Maxwell's three-colour approach underlies nearly all forms of colour photography, whether film-based, analogue video, or digital.
The three photographic plates now reside in a small museum at 14 India Street, Edinburgh, the house where Maxwell was born.
