Examples
-
I continued my experiments in heliochromy for a period of about two years, during which time I made many photographs in colours, and discovered a method of developing the coloured image, which enabled me to shorten the exposure to one-fortieth of the previously-required time.
Men of Invention and Industry Samuel Smiles 1858

I went on with my art studies and the science of chemistry; though I went no further in heliochromy.
