These images are all autochromes taken between about 1910 and 1920 by the
Belgian photographers Alfonse Van Besten, Charles Corbet, Georges Gilet, and
Paul Sano. They form part of the collection of Florent Van Hoof.

I think the dahlia colour has got distorted at some stabe, we would
all kill to get that colour, Blue is still the dahlia breeders quest.
