I've had a general interest in photography for many years but, I must admit that I'd never heard of Kahn before, so this series has been a revelation to me. Those old Autochromes are quite something and seem to have stood the test of time better than some more modern emulsions.

Agreed. The 1920s in colour was a brilliant series, though I didn't get to see them all. Though not in colour, I found the footage of cod fishing from open dories using hook and line particularly enthralling, don't know why, I just did.
