This was taken 112 years ago in Arizona, USA, on Sunday 31st March 1912 - just a fortnight before the sinking of the Titanic.

It is an autochrome portrait of a Hopi Snake Clan priest, taken in colour by Franklin Price Knott (although it was not published by the National Geographic until 1916).

It isn't colourised.

Doctor Who | We'll Never Forget You | Babelcolour

Seems like the right day to reshare this: the Tenth Doctor and Donna music video by the brilliant Stuart Humphryes aka BabelColour, featuring the music of my friend Shingai Shoniwa of the Noisettes.

Matthew Wood’s BBC Diary: Step forward, all you bygone Dr Whos

BBC newspaper: Ariel issue 108, November 19 1975

A notice-board plea to staff at Television Centre for volunteers be photographed as Dr Who went unanswered.

The last episode of a Dr Who story. The Brain of Morbius, required several people to reprersent reincarnations of Dr Who through the ages.

Carol Wiseman, production assistant on the series, initiated the search which ultimately yielded only one volunteer – Chris Baker, a PA/ director in Plays. And she got him only because he happened to work off the same corridor as the Dr Who offices. 

Eventually, other members of the Dr Who production team, shyly presented themselves. Said producer Philip Hinchcliffe: "We secretly thought we had the right sort of Dr Who faces." 

Pictures of the gentlemen – taken by Bob Komar – will be flashed briefly on the screen during the episode in which the Doctor engages in a battle of minds with Morbius. They will represent Morbius's struggle to take over the Doctor's mind and take it back into infinity and thus, destruction.

(I was lucky to download this rare image and info on the “Morbius Doctors” posted by @bluebox99 before they deleted their original tweet.)

I think this is something special: A rare document of an artist at work 117 years ago!

I have enhanced for you this wonderful autochrome by photographer Antonin Personnaz, which captures the moment when the French impressionist painter Armand Guillaumin painted his oil-on-canvas work 'Bathers in Crozant', way back in 1907.

It was photographed in colour and isn't colourised. BabelColour
