    Absolutely love the particular colour that only Autochromes gave; no other film produced then, or since, had the same natural colours. Great photos by the way!

    Well, I’ll be darned… is that the Mauretania??
    What a great set. Also love those “drink milk” posters.

  • Iain H

    I love the ad headline: ‘All the best people… drink milk.’

    Fantabulous stuff!

    A blue Australian flag in 1928? should really have been red unless this was official government business??
