More and More when I see posts like this on social media, I look with a skeptical eye. I did a little googling and was happy to confirm this is legit. It's pretty cool seeing color photos this old. Almost like time travel.
Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky did a large number of these in what-was-then the Russian Empire. They have such vibrancy in their coloring, I love them. It's not only fascinating pieces of history, but gorgeous photography in its own right!
That's amazing! He must have been a genius.
Damn. Are you sure these weren't shot on iPhone? 😂 Such high quality.
