  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.

  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??
