Kodak always made a lot of research. The first experiments with color photography are ever much older.
But one thing was new to me. Kodachrome was created just in 1934/35, with a very different system of color couplers. Maybe this example isn't exactly the Kodachrome (byu the way, the most marvelous color system ever created).

Even with the faded color, the models look so much more "real," than they would in black and white. Interesting that except for one, none have bobbed hair, and their clothes look more late 'teens rather than early 'twenties.

I agree about the clothes, etc - looks much more late teens.
And maybe we have here isn't faded collors. If I remember well, the first sucessful color processes were TWO color kind, not three as would be correct. Agfa tried one system with only two colors. And Kodak had in 1914/1915, a useful 2-color system.
There were so many color systems from late 1880 to 1935... Some very anoyding, like the first Agfa, from 1934, with special filters over the camera and the projector. Kodachrome outdated all them except for a few.
(Anyway, I really don't like color, usually... BW can hold the essence, the soul. Almost impossible to do this with colors).
