I watched a little TV last night and was so impressed with the program I saw that I have to tell you about it. Entitled The Great War in Colour it is one of the series about Albert Kahns collection of glass colour slides. The colours are luminous and have a quality all of their own. They have a charm that modern photography lacks. Albert Kahn was a millionaire banker and sent teams around the world to take coloured images to record the world as it then was as he was aware of the great changes taking place at the very beginning of the last century. If you get the opportunity to view it, I urge you to do so. I can promise that you will be in for a treat!
