Tussen 1909 en 1931 werd een verzameling van 72.000 autochroomfoto's verzameld om het leven te documenteren, op dat moment in vijftig landen, gemaakt door de Franse bankier Albert Kahn. De collectie, die een van de grootste is in zijn soort in de wereld, is gevestigd in het Albert Kahn Museum aan de rand van Parijs. Een nieuwe compilatie van beelden van de Albert Kahn-collectie werd gepubliceerd in 2008.
The Archives of the Planet (French: Les archives de la planète) was a project undertaken from 1908 to 1931 to photograph human cultures around the world. It was sponsored by French banker Albert Kahn and resulted in 183,000 meters of film and 72,000 color photographs from 50 countries. Beginning on a round-the-world trip that Kahn took with his chauffeur, the project grew to encompass expeditions to Brazil, rural Scandinavia, the Balkans, North America, the Middle East, Asia, and West Africa, among other destinations, and documented historical events such as the aftermath of the Second Balkan War, World War I in France, and the Turkish War of Independence. It was inspired by Kahn's internationalist and pacifist beliefs. The project was halted in 1931 after Kahn lost most of his fortune in the stock market crash of 1929. Since 1990, the collection has been administered by the Musée Albert-Kahn,
The Archives of the Planet officially began in 1912, when Kahn appointed geographer Jean Brunhes to direct the project, in exchange for a chair at the Collège de France endowed by Kahn. Stereography was replaced with the autochrome process, which yielded color photographs but demanded long exposure times, and motion pictures were added.[9] Kahn conceived of the project as an "inventory of the surface of the globe inhabited and developed by man as it presents itself at the start of the 20th Century",[10] and hoped that the project would further his internationalist and pacifist ideals, as well as document disappearing cultures.The philosopher Henri Bergson, a close friend of Kahn's, was a strong influence on the project.
Léon, the longest-serving photographer on the project, went on two trips to Great Britain in 1913, photographing London landmarks such as Buckingham Palace and St. Paul's Cathedral, as well as scenes in rural Cornwall. In the same year, Marguerite Mespoulet, the only woman to serve as a photographer for the Archives, travelled to the west of Ireland.[15] After Britain, Léon went on to Italy, accompanied by Brunhes.[16] In the same year, Passet returned to Asia. He went to Mongolia first, and then on to India, where in January 1914 the British authorities denied him passage through the Khyber Pass to Afghanistan, where he wanted to photograph the Afridi people. Later that year, army officer and volunteer photographer Léon Busy arrived in French Indochina, where he would stay until 1917.
By the time that the project was halted in 1931, in the aftermath of the stock market crash of 1929 that bankrupted Kahn, Kahn's cameramen had visited 50 countries and collected 183,000 meters of film, 72,000 autochrome color photographs, 4,000 stereographs, and 4,000 black-and-white photographs.
David Okuefuna describes the Archive as a "monumentally ambitious attempt to produce a photographic record of human life on Earth",] and the contents of the Archive are highly varied in subject.[15] On the early expeditions to Europe, Brunhes instructed the photographers to capture the geography, architecture, and local culture of the places they visited, but also gave them the freedom to photograph other things that caught their eyes.[29] Images in the Archive include landmarks like the Eiffel Tower,[30] the Great Pyramid of Giza,[31] Angkor Wat,[32] and the Taj Mahal,[33] as well as numerous portraits of working-class people in Europe and of members of traditional societies in Asia and Africa.[35] In many cases, Kahn's operators captured some of the earliest color photographs of their destinations. Due to the long exposure time required by the autochrome process, the photographers were largely limited to shooting stationary or posed subjects.
About a fifth of the photographs in the Archive were concerned with the First World War.[21] These included images of the home front, military technology like artillery guns and ships, portraits of individual soldiers (including some from France's colonial empire), and buildings damaged by shelling. Only a handful of images explicitly depict dead soldiers
The Archives also include thousands of portrait photographs, mostly shot at Kahn's estate in Boulogne-Billancourt. Subjects include statesmen such as British prime minister Ramsay MacDonald and French prime minister Léon Bourgeois, British physicist J. J. Thomson, French writers Colette and Anatole France, Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, and American aviator Wilbur Wright, among many others.
