Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii invented a clever camera that shot three black and wh8ite negatives through red, green, and blue filters in rapid succession. While there was no way to create a color photographic print at the time, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii developed a triple projector that would project the three transparent plates through red, green, and blue filters to reconstruct the color view.
Modern technology now allows those century old color photographs to be reconstructed, and a full-color peek into Russia at the dawn of the 20th century.
