Early 20th Century Color Photographs of the World by Albert Kahn

I just can’t get over these Vietnamese garments! This is a picture from The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn, a collection of early color photographs taken by the French philanthropist to record the people of the world in hopes of promoting cross-cultural peace and understanding. His life story is as fascinating as his contribution of some 72,000 autochromes, taken “of the peoples of the world, for the peoples of the world.” I found this at CreativeRoots, a blog about art and design in countries around the world.
