Agnes Warburg

Agnes Beatrice Warburg (1872–1953) was a British photographer who contributed to the acceptance of colour photography in the English-speaking world. She had been encouraged to take up photography by her brother, John Cimon Warburg (1867–1931), who also worked with colour.[1] She exhibited at the Linked Ring and at the Royal Photographic Society, where she was a founder-member of the Pictorial and Colour Groups.[2] As a result of her Pictorialist approach, she used photography as an art form rather than for commercial gain. Her results using the Autochrome process were of a remarkably high quality.[3]
