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??

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??”
The Australian flag has been blue with stars since 1901. The red variant is the civil ensign.
