In 1914, only a small group of pioneering photographers utilised recently developed Autochrome technology, resulting in a far larger number of black-and-white images. To mark the First World War's centenary, this beautifully curated volume brings together more than 320 colour photos to provide an unprecedented view on one of the most important conflicts in our history. Relish in the carefully composed battlefield scenes and poignant portraiture captured by notables of the era including Paul Castelnau, Fernand Cuville, Jules Gervais-Courtellemont, Léon Gimpel, Hans Hildenbrand and Frank Hurley to name a few.
