Starting a new thread for the discussion of the appearance in colours in old black and white photographs, starting with this article from a 1925 Meccano Magazine.
Orthochromatic plates and film were just a step on the way to panchromatic film. An article in the October 1925 Meccano Magazine explains the situation at the time. Before orthochromatic film yellow, orange and red would show as black or dark while blue would be near white. Filters could be used to capture some of the colours but at the expense of others. Black daffodils anyone?
