Today's blog is a result of a friend of mine posting a link to photos of Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii on Facebook. If anyone is interested in colour photographs of the Russian Empire in the last years before the Revolution, this man's work is incredible. In the days before colour film, he invented a process combining three monochrome photos in red, green and blue, then merging them to make a colour photograph.
Twenty pictures are shown at the bottom of the Wikipedia article linked to above and 86 at this link here.
