"The photographs of Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944)
His own original research yielded patents for producing color film slides and for projecting color motion pictures. Around 1907 Prokudin-Gorskii envisioned and formulated a plan to use the emerging technological advancements that had been made in color photography to systematically document the Russian Empire."
