This post is from one of several previous incarnations of this site and probably doesn’t quite fit the current format. In a former life this was a group blog and a tumblelog before it became a static jekyll site. If anything looks broken or is worded oddly that could be why. Pardon the dust.
The first proper post in this site’s archives is on Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii’s colour photographs of the early 1900s. This Albert Kahn collection is a nice companion to that.
