Russia In Colour
 
Quote:
Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) undertook a photographic survey of the Russian Empire with the support of Tsar Nicholas II. He used a specialized camera to capture three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red, green and blue filters, allowing them to later be recombined and projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images.

These pictures were taken in a time when there were no color film or digital camera. They were all black and white pictures. Three pictures were taken for each photo. The three color filters (blue, red, green) were used, thus three pictures for each photo. The color filtered pictures were later combined to create a fully colored photo that we see now.
