Summary
Description Alim Khan (1880–1944), Emir of Bukhara, photographed by S.M. Prokudin-Gorskiy in 1911.jpg |
English:
A picture of Alim Khan (1880-1944),
Emir
of
Bukhara
, taken in 1911.
This is one of the earliest color photographs in existence and was originally taken by
Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii
as part of his work to document the Russian Empire. It was taken using three black-and-white exposures, with red, green and blue filters respectively, long before color photographic printing existed. The three resulting images were projected using color filters to create a color projection. More recently, the Library of Congress has scanned Prokudin-Gorskii's work and contracted with other firms to produce high-resolution color images from the black and white scans.
