History
During the first half of the 20th century it was customary for French couture houses to send their models to display selected dresses at race meetings in the Paris district. Mr N Driver attended several meetings as a member of a textile manufacturing firm from the early 1930s. He took black and white photographs of the models and then used 16mm cine Kodachrome film, using the first colour film in 1937. Except for a break during to the Second World War Mr Driver continued to film the meetings until 1954.
