An interesting thing.

A set of photos using an (at the time) revolutionary technique for taking colour photos. As the article says, the quality is so good it's almost impossible to grasp that you're looking at things as they were over 100 years ago.

I've seen some of Gorskii's work before, absolutely amazing for it's time. Shame there isn't that many true colour pictures from that era.

Woah... :cry:

I've always wondered when looking at old B&W photos, how it was in color. Now I have some idea.
Truly amazing work.

Am I the only person who has a tendency to think that people lived in black and white pre-1960s?

It's a funny thought... ...and before the photographic age everyone lived in books.

If you were to use a film with a frame size like the glass plates he used... The results would be absolutely insane.

A shot costs a fortune then though .
