English translation:The first color <films>, made using brushes, date from 1885
Explanation:
This is not a great translation, but captures the meaning. The normal translations of "assemblage" (assembly, collection, combination) don't quite fit here. "Montage" might work (in place of "film" but without more of the original text, it's impossible to say.

"au pinceau" means "with a brush" and indicates that either the negatives or the prints were hand colored.
