The Baden-Baden photographer Eduard von Pagenhardt published one of the first books on the use of a new three-layer colour film introduced by Agfa in 1936. Kodak had already launched a similar film in the USA a year earlier. These new films made it possible for the first time for amateurs to take colour pictures without great technical effort and complicated processes. Photos: Otto Croy, Ernst Baumann.
