Nice pictures, but it seems like a big waste of time for all the French have done for us. How many times does there butt have to be pulled out of the fire.

Excellent pictures. They look a little techni-colour-ish (you, like those black and white movies they "coloured"), but maybe that's what early colour photography was like.

That's supposed to say, "You know, like those black and white..."

A commentor at the Shotgun (where I crossposted the item):

This is the work of Russian photographer Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii, who pioneered a three color process for making photos. He lived in France from 1918 to his death in 1944.

Cool...the father of RGB.... question of the week would be, who was the pioneer of CMYK?

Great post.
What a jump from black&white. Imagine what better understanding future generations will have of our times, with sound and video. As compared to what we have of the past, artists impressions and the written word.
Imaginations can be good but that's only what they are.

I ran across these on another website that has a large archive of them. If memory serves, the coloring was made using a process involving potatos. here is the link to the actual photo archive where these came from:
