Sažetak
In 1909, the wealthy Parisian banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn (1860 – 1940) started his ambitious project of producing documentary images of people and cultures from all over the world called “Archives of the Planet” (Archives de la Planète). During the project’s twenty-year lifetime, photographers – under the supervision of the Archives director, geographer Jean Brunhes (1869 – 1930) – visited around fifty countries on five continents, bringing back to France more than 72, 000 autochrome plates, around 3, 000 black-and- white stereographs and 170, 000 meters of silent motion picture footage. Among this vast amount of outstanding material, we have recently managed to find 22 images taken on the territory of today’s Croatia (mostly in the Dubrovnik area) on 22 and 23 November 1912, two images of Croatian people in Bosnia and Hercegovina from the same year and three brilliant color portraits of famous Croatian politicians Lujo Vojnović and Ante Trumbić taken in Boulogne in 1918/19. All of the mentioned photographs are 9 x 12 cm autochrome plates taken by the photographer Auguste Leon (1857 – 1942), whose 1912 images of Dubrovnik and its surroundings stand out as the earliest known examples of color photography in Croatia.
