Style Fridays: Color Photographs from Imperial Russia


This just blew me away.

Russian chemist and photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii travelled throughout Russia from 1909-1912 and again in 1915 photographing the life and environment of the Russian people using then-nascent color imaging technology. The result is breathtaking.

Next Friday: early American color photography.

Happy weekend!
