I came across an astonishing collection of color photos taken in the early part of the 20th century. These photos were taken by the Csar's photographer and document the lost world of the Russian Empire in vivid color. These photos represent a pioneering effort in color photography. The Library of Congress collection is available HERE.

quince,
I am glad you liked it.
I was so impressed and excited that I had to post this even though strictly speaking it doesn't relate to ed matters. Unless, of course, one thinks that everything is educational. Sort of like everything in the universe is related as the gurus tell us.
*Wow* I remember one of my college professors talking about this years ago at Florida State University. He said that the color photos were in a collection called "Photos for the Czar."
At the time, I was doubtful because I thought color photography dated from the 30s.
It's nice to see that Professor Grey was right after all.
