Have you seen Prokudin-Gorskii's even earlier color photographs of Russia?

For example: Prokudin-Gorskii Collection - Library of Congress
www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/prok/

The reference I gave is a very complete collection but a Google search
for Prokudin Gorskii brings an "Images" item that has many of his best.

Even though I am mainly a B&W photographer...

when I see an old B&W or sepia photo...it looks just that...old.

The high-quality color images make it look like it could almost have
been taken just the other day...so wonderful that someone put all that
effort into the art of photography.
