The Tartan Ribbon or Further Experiments of Maxwell’s Disappointment/Sutton’s Accident
On 17 May 1861, James Clerk Maxwell delivered a lecture at the Royal Society where he demonstrated, using a lantern slide projection, his theory for colour perception in the human eye via the additive colour process known today as RGB. Three images from three separate lantern slide projectors were projected onto a surface. The same colour filters with which the object had been photographed where then placed in front of each projection lens, carefully realigned, and what has been called “the first colour photograph” was supposed to have been created. It was a series of happy accidents, during capture and exposure, and a misinterpretation of the results—mostly long after the event itself—that has invented this commonly referred to fictional “First Ever” title. In the following retelling of the historical details in their chronological order and through a series of experiments with historically correct emulsions, we will clearly outline the errors and where they occurred.

London's hidden medieval priory
Those wartime bombs revealed the hidden history of the medieval priory of Carthusian monks, built here in 1371. Of course, many later additions - a brickvaulted Elizabethan gallery, Jacobean plasterwork (above, showing \"Charity\"), 19thcentury castellated Tudor walls - mix pleasingly with the buildings from the Middle Ages. After the bombing it became clearer what this was, when the first-floor room in the tower was being restored. This room, the old Treasury, has lovely Gothic vaulting, from 1512, with bosses carved with foliage, the one in the centre bearing a rose and the monogram IHS for \"Jesus\". Beneath the window that the bombing uncovered is the inside of the mysterious hole. It slopes downward, and is easily identifiable as a squint - an opening in a wall through which the altar of a church was to be seen for purposes of devotion. The squint must have pointed towards the old high altar of the monastic church, as excavations outside the tower confirmed. The present chapel had instead once been the monks' chapter-house, where they met for deliberations. Today, the outline of the old monastic church is traced on the grass of the courtyard next to it.

London's hidden medieval priory
Although reconstruction was far from inevitable, these were restored, and their stone and diapered brick walls retain a deceptive air of unchangeable tranquillity. Forty old men live there to this day, as in 1611 Sir Thomas Sutton, the founder of Sutton's Hospital in Charterhouse, hoped.
