In 1909, the French banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn launched a monumentally ambitious project: to produce a color photographic record of human life on Earth. An internationalist and pacifist, Kahn believed that he could use the new autochrome to create a global photographic archive that would promote cross-cultural understanding and peace.
