Footnotes

The 'pâte caméleon' or 'pâte changeante' was probably developed by Alphonse Salvétat and was first shown at the 1862 London Exhibition and reported in the Illustrated London News. This drew attention to 'chameleon ware', which changed from grey in daylight to pink in artificial light. Salvétat listed the names of Gély and Solon as the two artists responsible, while other artists mentioned were Hyacinthe Règnier, Pierre Adolphe Dammouse and Claude-Edouard Forgeot. see Bernard Bumpus, Pâte-sur-Pâte, colour plate VII.
