pictures of Russia

[Francoise Rosset]

The Prokudin-Gorskii collection is available through the Library of 
Congress as well at:
http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/

They set it up into various themes,
but it also works as a searchable database
http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/prok/

A book was published several years ago, very worth while, I believe 
the title was _Photographs for the Tsar_  That included a 1904 color 
photograph of Tolstoy, which I don't see in the LC database.
