Sarah Angelina Acland
, an English early pioneer colour photographer.

Sanger Shepherd and Company Limited was an electrical goods and photographic company that developed the Sanger Shepherd process for taking colour photographs.[1][2] The company led by Edward Sanger Shepherd was active from 1900 until 1927.[3]

Museum of the History of Science, Oxford. The process involved taking separate photographs through red, green, and blue coloured filters and then combining them later. A complete outfit cost £9/6/6 (£9.321/2p).[2]

The dye inhibition method of colour photography which underpinned the Sanger-Shepherd process set a pathway for future processes, notably Kodak's Dye-Transfer process of 1946.
