You may be familiar with the work of the "Tsar's Photographer" - but if not, PLEASE go to see his work and read above the photos a short reference to his revolutionary technique.

    Simply amazing. It's hard to imagine these pictures were taken over 100 years ago. You associate color pictures with pictures taken in recent times. If you didn't tell me these were taken a century ago, I would assume they were reinacted and taken more recently.
