The Empire That Was Russia: The Prokudin-Gorskii Photographic Record

The Empire That Was Russia: The Prokudin-Gorskii Photographic Record Recreated (A Library of Congress Exhibition): Here's an intersting website containing color images which were shot before it was possible to make a color print! The photographer took B&W images through three different color filters and the images were originally made for projection. The Library of Congress has now scanned and combined the original B&W negatives and produced color images (with very good color!) of Russia in the early 1900s.

Alex Gridenko spent some time making slightly better color reproduction from the same BW color separated originals: http://gridenko.com/pg1/index.htm
