Do you know this picture?

It's the Tartan Ribbon. As an image alone, I find it to be quite stunning, even magical. If I saw this image show up in my Instagram feed, I would be lusting over the howto for generating its ephemeral nature.

But this is not an #igers photo; it's an historic photo, commonly considered the first color photograph, and it was taken 151 years ago today!

A snip from Wikipedia: 

Tartan Ribbon, photograph taken by James Clerk Maxwell in 1861. Considered the first colour photograph. Maxwell had the photographer Thomas Sutton photograph a tartan ribbon three times, each time with a different colour filter over the lens. The three images were developed and then projected onto a screen with three different projectors, each equipped with the same colour filter used to take its image. When brought into focus, the three images formed a full colour image. The three photographic plates now reside in a small museum at 14 India Street, Edinburgh, the house where Maxwell was born.

h/t to ColourLovers for helping me remember the significance of today.
