It's color photos of Russia in the early 20th century, and they're pretty amazing. They look almost as high quality as modern photographs!

Those are great. I can't find it now but I saw some color WW1 photos a while back. Apparently only three photographers took color photos during WW1...or something like that.

It is a neat system. His camera would take four monochrome pictures at once - diifferent filters. And would composite them in post. So brilliant. Autochrome Lumiere is a similar system that hte French used and took color photos of WWI:

Gorsky also has several coffee table books of pictures from this timeframe if you are interested in his works.

Awesome, reminds me of this photo. Granted its not as old, but its still cool and that's a pretty good shot as I'm sure those cars were moving. Be sure to check out the full resolution version.
