Russia 100 years ago in colour!!

Not digitally remastered but actual colour photos from Russia in 1908.


Its a trivial point but it shatters that black and white dream we culturally have of the Past. Things 100years ago, even 1,000,000 years ago were very like today. And if this is how we facsimile the past pictorally don't we do the same conceptually too?
