SHANGRALA'S
PARIS
IN
EARLY
1900'S!
In 1909 a wealthy French banker named Albert Kahn executed a documentation of
Paris along with other places in the world. He did so by using a brand new
type of technology at the time: Color Photography.
In its early days, this camera was called the Autochrom Lumiere and Kahn commissioned four photographers to explore various places in the world and snap whatever they could find. The photographers documented life in Paris over 100 years ago. To capture these magnificent shots, they used color filters made from dyed potato starch grains. So that audiences may witness Paris's charm in the early 1900s, and get a clear visualization of what the city was like back then, these beautiful photos have been enhanced and improved for today's viewing. |
