Amazingly vivid color photographs of the royal Rossii.Himik and photographer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky - truly a pioneer of color photography in Russia. More than a hundred years ago, he created a system by which it was possible to obtain a surprisingly rich and vivid images of places he visited (and he traveled a lot). From his travels he brought back thousands of photographs, which depicted the life of people and architecture, which has not survived to our time.

He did not stay in one place for too long, as if afraid not to have time to shoot all the beautiful things in the world: the day filming in the evening, in the train, he carefully cultivated photos and cataloging. < Website
