A glimpse of pre-Revolutionary Russia in colour. Stuart Humphreys has enhanced this autochrome of Sophia Kozakova wearing traditional Russian clothes, photo was taken by Peter Vedenisov 112 years ago. It is original colour (not colourised).

If it’s original color, what is BabelColour?
Are there more photos?
What might have been if the revolution failed.
Very interesting. I’ve seen colour works of Prokudin-Gorsky before, but wasn’t aware of other colour photography projects from that time in Russian Empire.
What is the name of this kind of hat ? Very beautiful one.
Very beautiful photography, and it is impressive to see how modern the expression of the model is, it could be a contemporary teen going through a photo session and impatient to get back her cellphone.
