These photos are incredible not only for their composition, but also technically. I don’t know why, but I never associated color photography with this period. Presumably the photographer is Prokudin-Gorskii who was active during this period.

These are beautiful photographs. I love all of the Russian history that is captioned with them. It is certainly fascinating to learn about the culture and history.

Wow! I love the photos. I can’t believe they look so great and were taken 100 years ago. I love the colors and contrasts and brightness of the clothing. I love to see the landscape. It is wonderful to see what it all looked like a century ago, which is like an unattainable land and time, almost like a fairy tale locale. It’s great to get the feel and knowledge of what life was like back then with these photos. Thank you so much for sharing them. It is like looking into a different world, time and place.

These photos are stunning! The first photo, the one of the monastery, is breathtaking. Color adds so much to the photos of the Emir and of the girls offering berries, a photo which would seem very dull without the vibrant colors of their clothing.

I saw these on another website and they astonish me with their quality and how surreal they are.

Fascinating stuff! I’ve seen some of these 100-year-old Russian color photographs before and yet, I enjoy to see them over and over again and they never cease to amaze me with their unbelievable quality.

These are absolutely amazing!!! Yes, Ruth, I’m with you in your time travels. This photographer was incredible…the sharpness and clarity is just phenomenal. I wonder if these buildings are still there. It would be great to see then and now shots. I have never been to Russia, but I would love to go!
