Description: In the early 1900s Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii constructed an ambitious plan for a photographic survey of the Tsarist Russian Empire. Between 1907-1915 he completed surveys of eleven regions. His early color photography offers a vivid portrait of a lost world--the Russian Empire on the eve of World War I and the coming revolution. In this screensaver 49 color photogaphs by Prokudin-Gorskii of Tsarist Russian people are presented.
