These photographs are quite remarkable. There are none of Sydney Grew, however!

The TV programme (in four parts on BBC4) was about the work of Albert Kahn, who devoted 20 years and a considerable fortune to documenting the world in colour photographs, before during and after the "war to end all wars". I highly recommend catching a repeat of the series if you can. You don't have to be a photography buff or even a historian -- you'll just be engrossed by the views of ordinary life in that time.

(No music, but there were several filmed performances of traditional dances.)
