..Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii
(1863-1944) undertook a photographic survey of the Russian Empire with
the support of Tsar Nicholas II. He used a specialized camera to capture
three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red,
green and blue filters, allowing them to later be recombined and
projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images...
