Not just any pics. The library of congress bought the collection of a Russian scientist commissioned to record the Russian empire between 1909-1912. He used a special camera to photograph the same scene 3 times with Red, Green, & Blue filters. It's strange to see color images from that period. It seems like they're somehow more real.

Wow!
That is actually pretty cool! Especially since all the photos I see from that age are black and white!
 
Repost?

*confirmed* Looks like these were intended to be projected through a 'magic lantern' onto a wall where they would appear in color. I wonder if there are more of these 3-plate photos around the world?
 
Ya, i have to admit that that looks really nice. But...maybe everything looked different back then and it wasnt the camera lol 😀

that makes lots of sense, considering the fvcking thread is about colour photography from 1912.
