About 10 years ago, I bought a copy of the 1942 first edition of Fred Bond's Kodachrome and Kodacolor From All Angles. I was a heavy Kodachrome user at the time and I thought that the book would give me some insight into the film I was using, and what it was like to shoot colour when it was a new medium. I had a friend over this evening and I ended up pulling the book out and we flipped through it, and I pointed out that most of the colour plates were made from 8x10 or 4x5 sheet film and that Fred Bond was fortunate to have been able to shoot large format sheet film Kodachrome. I've never seen any of Fred Bond's photographs outside of his books though and there don't seem to be any posted on the internet anywhere that I've been able to find. Does anybody know what happened to his pictures, particularly the large format Kodachromes? Are they in an archive somewhere or available to view?
Also, everyone knows about Kodachrome's archival stability is excellent while early Ektachrome images didn't last well. How well did those early Kodacolor negatives and the prints last?
