Thank you all, on and off.

Talent is scarce here Tarek.. ,
but LR provides magic wands/props :-)

For Howard, David, Tarek and other curious minded fellow artists:

Start from RAW - plain import
"restore" and or dim highlights
Decrease contrast
Sharpness to the full + detail = max too
Saturate a lot, decrease vibrance
Add small sized grain, a lot
Adjust tones and TSL to taste

This is the basic recipe, I bet that you can get as many satisfactory  
results as there are visions :-)
Hope this helps

Jim S offered me the following tips off list: autochromes tend to get  
towards blue/green and WB can be helpful in this respect. Also most  
Autochromes don't display vivid colours (I have seen exceptions  
though) so the luminance slider might want to be pushed to the left.

So here is another Philichrome BTW that is perhaps closer to a classic  
autochrome, Jim?
