You rarely see photos from a century ago, in colour, but photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii had done so, with a special camera that captured black and white shots using red, green and blue filters, which were later recombined and projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images.
So surreal. I can't believe they were taken 100 years ago.

The resized photos don't do the details justice so do check out the website to see more images.
