The author of these unique historical photographs by Jules Gervais-Kurtelson (Jules Gervais-Courtellemont). He was born in 1863 in the suburb of Paris, grew up in Algeria and toured the middle East and North Africa, photographing everything I saw.

Gervais-Kurtelson was one of the first photographers who worked with autochromes is the oldest process of color photography, which was patented by the Lumiere brothers in 1903. Autochrom used granules of potato starch dyed red, green and blue paint, as filters, as well as the complex development process, bringing out the illusive "point" color photographs.

In January 1923 Gervais-Kurtelson returned to his native Paris to shoot the main attractions and city living a period of economic growth and optimism after the First world war.
