Some really stunning color photos from the very early 1900s. What, there was no color film back then....you are correct! However, the brilliant Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii developed a method for color slides projections that involved three negatives, each using a separate red/blue/green filter. Through modern day digichromatography they have been presented in full color for our viewing - for the first time to the public by the Library of Congress.
Pretty cool seeing color photos of things we have only seen in black and white previously.
