These images were taken in 1912 by the millionaire French banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn as part of his vast project, The Archives of the Planet, which aimed to create a colour photographic record of the peoples of the world. Spanning 22 years, it resulted in a collection of 72,000 colour photographs and 183,000 meters of film.
Some of these pictures can be seen in his book “The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn”.
