Colour films are incredibly rare in the 1920s, which makes this 26-part travelogue of the UK truly exceptional. Filmed in colour in 1924 by Claude Friese-Greene using his father's own bespoke colour film process, it utilised an ingenious camera with red and green spinning filters. The full colour travelogue runs for 180 minutes.
The pioneering film tours the UK just 5 years after the end of WWI. In this preview, it visits Aberdeen, Liverpool, Cardiff, Stirling and London amongst others.
I've edited this little trailer for you using the jaunty title music from the 'Jeeves & Wooster' TV series. A section of the travelogue (running 64 minutes) is available on a DVD entitled "The Open Road", restored by the BFI.

(Claude Friese-Greene's famous grandson is the English musician, songwriter, and record producer Tim Friese-Greene, best known the new-wave/synth-pop band Talk Talk)
