''With images from southern and central Russia in the news lately due to extensive wildfires, I thought it would be interesting to look back in time with this extraordinary collection of color photographs taken between 1909 and 1912.''

the richness of the color on these photographs is pretty amazing, tho you should read my cautionary note at the end of the article. the colors we see are probably substantially different from the original tones.
