Russia in color--a CENTURY ago

All photos taken between 1909 and 1912. A specialized camera was used to capture three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red, green and blue filters, allowing them to later be recombined and projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images.

I can't believe the quality of these 100 year old images. And they're in color. Amazing.
