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.
