30 photos couleurs rares de l'empire russe début 1900

LC-DIG-ppmsc-04445 Using emerging technological advances in color photography, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) made numerous photographic trips to systematically document the Russian Empire. He conducted most of his visual surveys between 1909 and 1915, although some of his work dates as early as 1905. The Empire at this time stretched 7,000 miles from west to east and 3,000 miles from north to south and comprised one-sixth of the earth's land mass. It was the largest empire in history and spanned what today are eleven different times zones.

Tsar Nicholas II supported this ambitious project by providing passes and transportation: by rail, boat and automobile. Each journey made by Prokudin-Gorskii is represented by a photographic album and corresponding negatives. There is also an album of various studies, including views in Europe.

Prokudin-Gorskii's photographs show:

sacred architecture and associated shrines of note (churches, cathedrals, monasteries, and mosques)

liturgical and secular objects of historic significance (vestments, icons, reliquaries, and other objects relating to saints, previous Tsars, and the Napoleonic War)

public works (the engineering, construction, and use of railroads, bridges, dams, canals, locks, and roads)

industry (iron, gold, and copper mining; production of cotton and silverware; professions as varied as shepherds and street vendors)

agriculture (tea plantations and farming activities such as planting and haying)

people, often posed in traditional clothing

views of cities, villages, waterfronts, landscapes, and flowering plants.

Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky (1863-1944) -  was a Russian chemist and photographer. He is best known for his pioneering work in colour photography and his effort to document early 20th-century Russia.

i really want to get some red, green, and blue lens filters so that i can more faithfully emulate sergey prokudin-gorsky's color photography technique, but i simply can't justify spending $30 on a filter set to fulfill a whim

There is a book of his photos called "Photographs for the Tsar" that I highly recommend picking up.
