Marguerite #Mespoulet and Madeleine #Mignon, two very early color photographers, made 73 #autochrome #photographs in #Ireland in 1913 for Albert Kahn’s #ArchivesofthePlanet project. They are the first color photographs of Ireland and they include this stunning image of a 14-year-old girl in the village of Claddagh outside of #Galway.
The Irish photographs are not currently included in the digital archive of the #AlbertKahn Museum. My thanks to @anneeroper for letting me know about them.

@Tmmck In the thumbnail post size before enlarging, I thought the Tibetan photo and date was in the vein of #AlbertKahn 's #ArchiveOfThePlanet project et le voila! Remembering #Mespoulet & #Mignon #Photography #Paris

@Sheril This photo taken in #Galway #Ireland c. 1913 and yes, in colour, not retouched by two #French women photographers #Mespoulet & #Mignon working for philanthropist, #AlbertKahn for his #ArchivesOfThePlanet shows an #Irish boy in skirt to fool the #Fairies into not taking him away (because back then #girls weren't worth as much and it was okay if they were taken by fairies)--so there's another bit of #gender #stereotyping...copyright #AlbertKahnMuseum, #Paris 😍
