The Twenties in Colour - The End of a World

Logo for The Twenties in Colour - The End of a World

Series examining Albert Kahn's 'Archives of the Planet' project, in which he sent photographers around the world to document major events. After the Wall Street Crash, Kahn lost his fortune and was forced to bring his project to an end - but not before his photographers produced some remarkable images in Canada and North Africa and some very early colour film in rural France.
