It is probable that everyone in these photos is dead - but what amazing results!

There are more by the same guy at

 

http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/

 

including a 2-6-2 (look under transportation)

 

the other chap to watch for with early colour is Albert Kahn.

whose chaps also took some astonishing photos.

I've just come across the French version of the Albert Kahn website: http://albert-kahn.hauts-de-seine.net/archives-de-la-planete/mappemonde/

What is great here is that there is a world map, click on the part of the world you are interested in and the various countries then appear, there are "only" 34 pictures from the UK but they are colour and date from 1913-1924 - quite amazing.

Cheers,

John E.
