Color photos in Russia from 1909
I didn’t realize how much work it took to create color photographs in 1909, not that current color print processing is no small feat.
Apparently Russian photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky devoloped a process to accomplish this. Take a look at his photographs from a century ago. They look like they were taken just yesterday. Amazing!
