Check out http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/gorskii.html ... The US Library
of Congress has put up an exhibition with a few images taken just before WWI
and the Russian Revolution by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, in
color. He used a view camera with a long glass plate and three filters, red,
green, and blue, to take what, with a little bit of digital magic, are very
striking color pictures. Definitely worth a look. Click on the "Making Color
Images" link at the top of the page for a description of the process.
