An unknown man smokes a pipe on the banks of the Odet River in the city of Quimper, in Brittany, on this day 105 years ago, March 9, 1920.
The photograph was taken using the Lumière brothers’ autochrome technique for Albert Kahn’s “Archives of the Planet” project.
Since this photograph was taken, 105 years have passed, but if one didn’t know this, the man could easily be mistaken for our contemporary.
