In 1908, French banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn embarked on a groundbreaking photographic project. A believer in international understanding and a better world, Kahn used his wealth to foster connection between nations. He established the Archive of the Planet, sending photographers to document daily life in over 50 countries for the next two decades. Providing them with cutting-edge technology, including the revolutionary autochrome camera, Kahn ensured the creation of vibrant, true-color photographs.
