Great link, there are some excellent photos in there.
Very interesting and some great photos. Just to think that this was only 80 years ago in the US.

Personally, I think the golden age of photography is right now.
Never before has photography been so simple and easy, nor as cheap or prolific as it is now.
All my photos are taken with recycled pixels.

An even mightier effort was that of Albert Kahn 30-40 years earlier.
But you probably won't read about his efforts as they're not American!
I don't really think there will ever one true golden age of photography, as it evolves into a 'better era' for a select few, and others prefer the methods and endeavours of the past.
What I see as the 'golden age' of photography is Albert Kahn's autochrome based documentary program, but I still prefer the technology of today and look forward to how it all pans out in the future.
I think there are more golden ages yet to come.
