Sepia is the dark brown pigment that comes from secretions of the ink sac of a Cuttlefish. That ink was then mixed in with other chemicals that resulted in the tones of the photograph to be in shades of brown instead of gray, back in the 1880s. They have since developed artificial toners and now with Photoshop you don’t even need the chemicals. Or the Cuttlefish. Pretty neat.
