It does say that the film use wasn't very sensitive - so perhaps they could only take pictures on sunny days?

Autochrome was something like iso 10, even heavy overcast would be okayish for hand held photography

The article states that all the pictures required posing due to long exposure time, so I don't think "hand held" was an option. That being said, if you're gonna pose, you can just pose longer when it's cloudy.
