life and work

Ives started as an apprentice printer at the Litchfield Enquirer , where he became interested in photography. Then at the age of 18 he was employed by the Photography Laboratory at Cornell University . He first dealt with the development of an additive color copying process - the production of color prints by combining red, green and blue partial images. Later he concentrated on the construction of his own recording and viewing devices. His "Photochromoscope" system, which had been developed since 1890 and brought onto the market in 1895, consisted of a camera and projector and was the first commercial application of the additive process.

A total of 70 patents go back to Ives, including halftone photo engraving . In 1921 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and in 1922 to the American Philosophical Society .
