Body
The story of Russian chemist and photographer Sergei Mikhailovich
Prokudin-Gorskii, who "travelled in a special train car transformed into a
dark room to process his special process of creating color images" in the
years 1909-1915, was unknown to me before I visited the Denver Post blog
site, even though these have been up for nine months (both these and the
pre-WWII America images are posted with dozens of ways to share), but it's a
very nice Library of Congress collection depicting the Mother Russia of VN's
childhood...
