Russia, 100 year old color photos

[Mr. Dictator]

so are there any other similar photographs from other places in the world around the time?

IIRC there are some color photos of Southern Africa taken from one of those wars from early on last century.

i looked through the history of photgraphy, and the work of this russian photographer was experimental at the time, it was pictures projected on each other. The full color effect was only visible with a projecter, and when the photographer fled the RUssian Revolution, most of his pitures were destroyed, the ones survivng are kept in some American museum.

no you must be delusional
From what I know, his work was the only such photographs.

I don't understand why people weren't more interested in color photographs at that time.

The other "color photographs" of the time were simply colored in later by artists and they just don't come across as real looking.

The colors in these photos are vivid and real as if they'd been taken with a modern digital camera a few days ago. That's what's really amazing about these pictures.

Now as for scary photography, my vote goes to 19th century post-mortem photography:

Maybe someone finally invented time travel and kept it secret from the world?

Part of the collection includes a couple of dozen photos taken at Borodino in 1910 for the 100th anniversary of the battle. For fans of Napoleonic history they provide good incite into why the battle went the way it did.

Color photography dates back to 1855.

Those pictures of Georgia and Russia are stunning
And the one of that little girl I find quite creepy.

 

[Airstrike92]

These are real pics?

 

[Ajidica]

Yep, they're real. I saw them about a year ago. (Unfortunatly not all of them. Most of the ones I saw were concentrated around Kiev and Central Asia.)

The autochrome process was the first real viable color photography and was make public around 1907. Google search for autochromes.

Each picture is a composite of three glass negatives: magenta, cyan and yellow which when stacked together and projected produce the full color image.
