Photographed in colour exactly 98 years ago this month - June 1928 - this beautiful Autochrome study of a German garden in Baden is a wondrous riot of colour. I love the 'Twenties flapper outfit with cloche hat and aqua marine scarf! It is original colour, taken by Wilhelm Tobien using an early colour glass-plate process. It isn't colourised. π

Goodness! It looks quite exotic. I rarely see Escallonia now, once a common hedging plant here. . .

I couldnβt get a decent photo of her without any reflections. The frame, & the blue wall are perfect, I think
She was recovering from an illness here, & I can see it
