Summary

Description
English: Levi Hill of Westkill, NY, claimed for the first time to have invented a way to produce naturally colored daguerreotypes, or Hillotypes, as they became known. When Hill refused to release the details of his process until a patent was filed, the profession denounced him as a fraud. In 156 years, no definitive evidence has been presented to suggest that Hill was or was not an imposter, until now. Using state-of-the-art technology, the 62 Hillotypes acquired by the Smithsonian in 1933 from Hill's son-in-law, John Boggs Garrison, finally gave up their secrets. Examination of a number of the Hillotypes by GCI scientists and curators from the Smithsonian�s photography collection have confirmed that Hill was indeed a genius - he did discover a method to create several natural colors in his photographs.
Čeština: Levi Hill byl americký ministr v New Yorku a daguerrotypista, který tvrdil, že vynalezl jako první proces barevné fotografie v roce 1850. Hill označil svůj proces jako „heliochromii“ (fotografování v přirozených barvách), avšak exponovaným deskám se začalo běžně říkat hillotypie. Přestože se jeho práce setkala se skepticismem během jeho celého života, další výzkumy měly tendenci ukázat, že jeho proces byl v principu zhruba schopen barvy v přírodě reprodukovat. Levi Hill v listopadu 1850 zveřejnil publikaci The Magic Buff, ve které tvrdil, že dokáže zaznamenat modrou, červenou, fialovou a oranžovou barvu na jednu desku.[1] Jako důkaz předložil snímek pořízený metodou nazvanou hillotypie. Nicméně šlo v tomto případě o velmi špatnou kvalitu a Hill také vehementně odmítal zveřejnit podrobný princip svého objevu, takže byl nakonec svými jeho současníky přijat skepticky.
