The World in 1900

The revolutionary ''photochrome'' process was unveiled at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900. This unique new approach permitted the first-ever colour images of the world''s most famous sites and landmarks,and elicited unprecedented admiration on both sides of the Atlantic.The process remained in vogue until the 1920s, before being superseded by more modern colourphotography methods. This book offers a richly varied collection of over 300 such images from 47 countries.
