More Gorsky Photos - Russian Empire in colour
« on: 09 October 2010, 10:46:53 AM »
Some of these have been posted before, but here is a PDF by The Spectator containing pictures from the Russian Empire from 1909 to 1915 made by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, a pioneer of colour photography. Different regions are shown- from west Russia to the Steppe - and there is also some commentary. Enjoy:

That is a gorgeous collection, even for someone only remotely interested in gaming BoB... just a great collection of pictures. And colour, too!
