The autochrome images of World War I subjects reminded me of the excellent Prokudin-Gorskii collection that you can see at the Library of Congress website. They also have a rather large archive of the three-color separation images that you can search and use, most of which are fairly mundane landscapses, but some of which include excellent pictures like the one on the right. The picture of the Tajik man on the right was taken in 1911.

This glimpse into the past is just too cool.
