Russia, a century ago - in color!


I thought these photos were really interesting. They're color photographs which were taken in Russia one hundred years ago. Take a look. They've very large, detailed, colorful photos. The example I've posted above, shrunk down to fit my column width, hardly does them justice.

No, the past wasn't black and white, though that's normally how it appears in old photos. Color makes it easier to see these as real people, just like us, don't you think?

Wow, that is so neat Bill. You're right I've never seen that culture at that time in Color!
