There is a very beautiful book with the color photographs taken by Leonid
Andreev of his family and friends from about 1890 on, as I recall. The
plates were inherited by his granddaughter, who had them printed. He used a
French process then in vogue. If I can find the box in which that book
resides, I will post the title. I also think I remember that Petr Otsup used
a color technique for his photos of architecture from about 1900 on. Karl
Bulla, official court photographer, did also.
