Albert Kahn, the French banker and philanthropist who decided to photograph the entire globe in 1909 using the latest autochrome technology, is endlessly fascinating for many reasons… including the incredible color photographs that still exist from the project. David Okuefuna’s THE DAWN OF THE COLOR PHOTOGRAPH presents these beautiful images as well as some of the story behind Kahn. Richard B. Woodward writes about Kahn in the Wall Street Journal, and the article includes an incredible slideshow of images. Check out the article and slideshow here. James F. X. O’Gara writes a very interesting review of the book and the darker side of the project in The Weekly Standard.
