Long before the introduction of color film, a Russian chemist and photographer named Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky used an innovative technique. He took three individual black and white photos, each through a colored filter (red, green, and blue), to create fully colored, high-quality pictures. The photo of this woman, taken by him, is around 107 years old!
No wait I looked this guy up and this shitโs amazing
Itโs so incredibly humanizing to see people from the very distant past in such authentic color
And like. look at these landscape shots!! Theyโre so vivid!! Even aside from the historical value, these are just legitimately beautiful photographs
