The first colour photograph too...! I recently discussed the matter of Scots primacy with our esteemed colleague Elliot McSandwidgebag. I take this opportunity to recommend Lachlan Cowrie's remarkable history of fair Caledonia: HOW THE SCOTS INVENTED THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING THAT"S IN IT. ISBN: 7-82287-5098-4
Reputedly this is the 1st colour photograph. A Scottish ribbon, photographed by James Clerk Maxwell in 1861 in three separate lantern slides.
A Photochromoscope by Frederick E. Ives from 1892.
Another Photochromoscope by Ives, from 1897
