Russia in colour - Pictures from the old Russian Empire
[New HD upload]
On behalf of the Imperial Court, Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky documented the Russian Empire between the years 1905 and 1915, all in colour, as one of the first in the world to use this technique, and long before "real" colour photography had been invented.
It is amazing how you react differently seeing the old world in colour compared to seeing it in greyscale.
