Old Black and White Photos in Color
By Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky during his travels of the old Russian empire (1900-1914)
 Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) poses near a mountain stream, thought to be the Karolitskhali River in the Caucasus Mountains near the seaport of Batumi on the eastern coast of the Black Sea.  This photograph of the interior of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Smolensk shows the icon screen that in an Orthodox church separates the altar area from the congregation. At the right is a special shrine for the miracle-working icon known as "Odigitria," traditionally associated with the city of Smolensk. 1912  Prokudin-Gorskii and others ride the Murmansk Railroad in a handcar along the shores of Lake Onega near Petrozavodsk. From the beginning of Russian railroad construction in the 1850s, rails were laid using a wider gauge (5 feet 3.5 inches) than the standard European one. 1915  A "Compound" locomotive with a Schmidt boiler is shown on the railroad between Perm' and Ekaterinburg in the Ural Mountain region in the far eastern part of European Russia. The rail car in the background is thought to be Prokudin-Gorskii's traveling photographic laboratory and living quarters. 1910  Dressed in traditional Central Asian attire, a vendor of locally grown melons poses at his stand in the marketplace of Samarkand in present-day Uzbekistan. 1911  Borzhomi is a small town in the Caucasus Mountains in the interior of what is now the Republic of Georgia. Noted for its mineral waters, it was a fashionable spa at the end of the nineteenth century. Shown here are elegantly dressed visitors posing for a photograph by the Ekaterinin, ("Catherine's") Spring.1915  View of the Saint Nil Stolbenskii Monastery, 1910.  Alim Khan, descendant of Genghis Khan, Emir of Bukhara, 1911 World war one...In colour, using teh Autochrome Lumi?re process.  Frontline trenches. Group of French servicemen, "Poilus", in front of the entrance of a cote. Woods of Hirtzbach. (Haut-Rhin. France. June 16th, 1917). From David Latapie (merci beaucoup!) "Poilus" (hairy) is the nickname to French WWI soldiers, since they could not afford the luxury of regular shaving. It is a term of affection, especially now.  Barber in the trenches  Lookout in the post of the lock 26. Serviceman Frenchman in observation. Eglingen. (Haut-Rhin. France. June 23rd, 1917).  "The Troupes de Marine have a maritime heritage and their badge is a fouled anchor. They are now incoporated into the army. They apparently still have a particular role now in being soley deployed for overseas operations and, when France was a colonial power, were often regarded as a colonial force. In WW1 many of the Senagalese and other colonial troops were in the Troupes de marine.They fought with incredible valour and great sacrifice."  Officers tent in the woods more to come later. if you're interested here is how they do it... Code:
