Really old color photographs

I've seen these photographs about a half-dozen times over the last few years, but they're absolutely fascinating and worthy of yet another mention.

They're color photographs taken all over the Russian empire in the first few years of the nineteen hundreds—the photographer reportedly took three black and white frames with colored gel filters, and then projected the resulting negatives again through colored gels to produce the fully colorized image.

I've also seen some color film footage shot near the end of the second world war, and similarly, it adds a whole lot of realism to what is otherwise a time shrouded in grany colorless photos.

Outstanding!
