Re: Color photos of Russia circa 1910
The rest of his photos are floating around on one or more of the Russian chat and photo forums. They can usually be found where the photoshoped combinations of early Soviet Russia are overlaid onto newer photos.
What is really amazing is how these photographs were done (with the B&W and then the three color filters) which is in the article just above the photos. You can see the use of the filters in shots that include bodies of water - very impressive, especially for the time. I love the clarity and depth of color of pictures of people in native costume in the southern regions like Kazakhstan and what is now Uzbekistan - vivid hues of blues, reds and greens.:thumbsup Phillip

Re: Color photos of Russia circa 1910
I've never seen anything like that. The colors were beautiful. Reminds me of the old lithographs that still maintain their brilliant color except these are much better because they are photos. Thanks Eric!

Re: Color photos of Russia circa 1910
OK - I answered my own questions here: The Empire That Was Russia: The Prokudin-Gorskii Photographic Record Recreated (A Library of Congress Exhibition)
The US Library of Congress has the negatives. The link shows you how they make photos from the negatives and the whole series of pictures from the "Photographer to the Tsar.";) There are 2606 images in all - so pace yourselves. Phillip
