Peasants of the Russian Empire, photographed between 1909 and 1915. These images are not colorized. They were captured more than a century ago using an early three-color photographic process that produced remarkably lifelike color.
These photographs were created by Russian photographer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, one of the pioneers of color photography.
Between 1909 and 1915, with the support of Tsar Nicholas II, he traveled more than 10,000 miles across the Russian Empire, documenting its people, landscapes, and everyday life before the empire disappeared forever.
Because color film had not yet been invented, Prokudin-Gorsky photographed each scene three times in rapid succession using blue, green, and red filters. When the three glass-plate negatives were later combined, they produced remarkably lifelike color images. It was one of the most advanced photographic techniques of its time, which is why these photographs still look surprisingly modern today.
These images were taken during the final years of Imperial Russia. Most of the people pictured were peasants, who made up about 80 percent of the empire’s population. They lived in wooden villages, farmed small plots of land, and relied on traditions that had changed little for generations. Within just a few years, the First World War, the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the Civil War would transform the country forever. Many of the villages, churches, customs, and ways of life seen in these photographs would disappear in the decades that followed.
After fleeing Russia following the Revolution, Prokudin-Gorsky took many of his glass negatives with him. In 1948, the Library of Congress purchased the collection from his heirs. Decades later, digital technology accurately combined the three filtered exposures, allowing millions of people to see some of the world’s earliest true color photographs much as Prokudin-Gorsky intended more than a century ago.
