Fabulous Photographs

[lnr]

Originally taken as three monochrome images on the same glass plate with different colour filters these would have been shown with a projector with three images superimposed and projected through the same three filters to give a colour image. Digital image manipulation techniques have been used to reproduce the images as they might have been seen, though perhaps with contrast and colour balance tweaked a little. Fabulous results, and a fascinating view of 1910ish Russia in full colour.

wow - thanks for post this!

They're great... basically the same way that the icon on this comment was created by me and my astronomy team last summer :-)

Wow. I wonder if there'll be a book out of them someday.

Funny, that, I was visiting the same website at more or less the same point today - a friend of Jen's told us about the archive at the beginning of December, and I remembered to go and have a look today.

Wow, those are superb! I even like the way you sometimes see 'ghosts' of people who moved between exposures. Brilliant.

Yeah, I really like that too.
