Notes from the Outside of the Inside

Before Russia Was Red It Was in Colours

without comments

Amazing colour photos from czarist Russia. I’m always amazed by colour photos from before the 1950s. I mean: Who would have thought that World War II was fought in colour?

Ironic twist: If it hadn’t been for the US Library of Congress, the collection might have been lost.
