Conservation efforts to restore the Picture Wall on the northern section of the centuries old Lahore Fort in Pakistan has been completed after more than a decade of work. The fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site with the Picture Wall stretching 475 meters long and 17 meters high.
This is the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) - famous for 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1878) amongst others. Here, he is photographed in colour within the grounds of his home in Russia in 1908 by Prokudin-Gorsky. I have cleaned and enhanced this old Autochrome print (the original glass plate is long lost). It was taken using a colour process 118 years ago and isn't colourised.
