Albert Kahn (1860-1940) - Photography for a Vision of World Peace
Born in Alsace of a Jewish family, Albert Kahn moved to Paris when the province was annexed by Germany in 1871 as a result of the Franco-Prussian war.
Kahn made his vast fortune first in diamond mining and then as a banker in the world of international finance, most notably in loans in Japan, partly facilitated through connection with the Japanese royal family.

As a philanthropist, he financed this extraordinary project which sponsored photographers to travel to at least 50 countries from 1907 till the demise of his wealth in the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the venture had to be abandoned.
I've made a selection of photographs over the period of the project - taking in Africa, the Balkans, England and Ireland, Europe, the Far East, France, the Middle East, Mongolia and Scandinavia. With a selection of portraits and images of World War One.
Enjoy!

Located in the lively cityscape of Paris, the Albert Kahn Garden is an oasis of tranquillity and global exploration. An absolute treat for both the eyes and soul, the garden beckons all, from travel enthusiasts to peace-seekers, offering them an unparalleled escape amidst the busy boulevards of Paris. This unique locale in the heart of the city showcases a striking variety of landscapes that allow you to traverse the world without ever leaving the city.
Albert Kahn Garden is not just a destination; it's an experience curated by its namesake, Albert Kahn, a prominent banker and philanthropist of the early 20th century. His vision of peace and unity across cultures led to the creation of this exquisite collection of gardens, also known as "a world in miniature". Visitors get an opportunity to soak in the serene ambience of Japanese landscapes, marvel at the English Garden's vibrancy, and lose themselves in the blue and white-themed garden's calming aura.
An absolute must-visit is the Japanese Village Garden, a harmonious blend of architectural aesthetics and natural elements that evoke a sense of tranquillity. This section of the garden is a reflection of the beautiful Far East. As you meander through the lush foliage, crossing quaint wooden bridges and pausing by stone lanterns, you might spot colourful koi fish in the shimmering pond. With the changing seasons, the garden puts on a dynamic show. Witness the cherry blossoms' delicate bloom in spring and the autumn foliage's fiery spectacle, offering unique experiences every visit.
The Albert Kahn Garden's appeal isn't solely limited to its idyllic landscapes. The garden is also home to diverse plant species, making it a paradise for botany enthusiasts. The expansive Vosgienne forest offers a glimpse of the French countryside with its leafy paths, further enriching the garden's multifaceted charm.
Located in the Boulogne-Billancourt suburb of Paris, the Albert Kahn Garden is easily accessible, and its charm is not diminished by the season or weather. Be it the sun-kissed Parisian summer or a drizzling winter day, the garden's allure remains constant, offering a relaxing retreat amidst the city's hustle and bustle.
A visit to the Albert Kahn Garden is more than just a sightseeing adventure. It's a journey of cultural exploration and nature appreciation that transcends borders, right in the heart of Paris. Whether you are a nature lover, a passionate photographer, or a traveller seeking unique experiences, this garden is a trove of enriching discoveries and serene moments.
So, step into the Albert Kahn Garden, where the world converges amidst Paris's cityscape. Embark on this multi-sensory journey, experience the celebration of global unity, and create memories that will make your Parisian escapade truly unforgettable.
