The second episode of this wonderful series, Edwardians in Colour: The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn was even better than the first, we see the United States, Japan, India, Mongolia in the Edwardian Period. In VIEWS interest the Edwardian Period is at the top, on the whole it has been Imperial Russia and the political developments up to 1914, but this series has in some respects shows there is more to that period that reading the diary's of Kings, Emperors and the political actions of politicians. When looking at these colour pics VIEWS has wondered what happened to the people did they survive the great turbulence of the First World War, did these pictures in some respect represent their happy life's before war, natural disasters and disease took them. But of course on the whole we cant know what happened, but we see the high and low points of the period, before the destruction of 1914.
