some photographs that may be of interest .....

[Francoise Rosset]

Dear Robert and everyone:

The Prokudin-Gorskii collection is also available, presumably in its 
entirety, through the Library of Congress, in a searchable site at:
http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/
The site is called "The Empire That Was Russia"

It includes a color portrait of Lev Tolstoy.
And it doesn't necessarily provide good final versions of every 
photograph (such as the ones found in the article Robert sent us); 
often there's just a base digital image, easily enhanced.

There is also a pretty decent book out, *Photographs for the Tsar."
I bought it many many moons ago when I first started teaching, but 
it's probably still available.
