But one innovator, Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii, was a Russian who travelled around Imperial Russia taking colour photographs to record a world that was about to be swept away by the Bolshevik Revolution. Given special permission from the Tsar, Prokudin-Gorskii was able to travel to the furthermost corners of the Russian Empire and capture images never seen before. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
