Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
The story of photographys first practicable colour process is also the story of fashion as it evolved from the Edwardian era to the newfound fluidity and freedom of the 1920s.
Soon the world will be color-mad and Lumi?re will be responsible Alfred Stieglitz, 1907
These words announced the arrival of the autochrome, the colour process invented by the Lumi?re brothers that not only transformed photography, but also recorded the transition of fashion from Edwardian elegance towards a liberating modernity.
The Colour of Clothes celebrates the unique beauty of the autochrome in around 370 images that reflect the broad sweep of its usage. Couturiers embraced the way the process showcased their exquisite designs to luminous perfection among them Fortuny, Poiret, Doucet, Vionnet, Lucile, Chanel and Lanvin. Beyond the sphere of fashion, there are also examples from the Salon du Go?t Français, Frances virtual autochrome exhibition of luxury items, and Albert Kahns Archives de la Plan?te, a bold attempt to record the worlds cultures in autochromes.
Some of the photographers involved may be famous in their field Lartigue, Stieglitz, Steichen though very often they are lesser known, and many are women who took to the process with panache. Whoever they were, they helped to immortalize one of photographys historic moments, when the camera first revealed the world of fashion as it was in colour.
