Re: Russian Photographs
Hello I know of a way of producting color images directly on glass plates called autochrome. Been invented at the beginning of the century by the Lumieres, the following site (http://www.institut-lumiere.org/francais/lumiere/sautochrome.html) explains --in french-- the development of this technology (based on colored potato starch grains) to obtain a means of capturing color without the 3 filtered exposures. As explained on the page, the image is a *positive*. or go there: http://www.bway.net/~jscruggs/index3.html and choose 'autochrome' in the left menu. In France, the Albert Kahn Foundation has apparently a collection of 72 000 autochromes, done between 1910 and 1931, recording various subjects from the whole world, and especially France, in the followin areas: everyday life, habitat, industry, military, war etc...on command by A.Kahn (a banker and philanthroper in the XIXth century). It can be visited, but only on arrangement. From the few that I have seen, grain is quite perceptible, but the colors show no shifting (or wrong dominant) AT ALL, though they have sort of a pastel-like softness, which for a 100-year picture is quite a remarkable performance. I think later there was color film (movies) based on the same kind of materials. cheers.

Re: Russian Photographs
Actually the lumiere Site has an english version: http://www.institut-lumiere.org/english/lumiere/sautochrome.html clearer, I hope. f.
