Louis Amédée Mante (1826-1913) was a French photographer and inventor whose later career coincided with that of his co-worker and later son-in-law Edmond Goldschmidt (1863-1934). Louis Amédée Mante reportedly developed his own process for colouring photographic prints in Paris in 1895 which he called 'Mantochrome'.
