An exhibition of the first color documentation from Norway, from Les Archives de la planet in Paris.
In this photographic archive, the material from Norway and Sweden are the earliest entries outside of France. The Archives of the planet were founded by the banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn. Kahn, who had interests in the company Norsk Hydro, travelled Norway in 1910 with the photographers Auguste Léon and Anders Beer Wilse. People and landscapes were documented by means of the autochrome technology, patented in 1907 by the brothers Lumière. These were the first color images, the first technology that automatically reproduced colors as found in nature.
