The Lost Empire - Photographer to the Tsar
at the Museum of Russian Art
Monday, May 5th thru Sunday, August 31st, 2008
In the early 1900s Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii developed an ambitious plan to complete a photographic survey of the Russian Empire that won the support of Tsar Nicholas II. His unique images of Russia on the eve of revolution recorded on glass plates were scanned and, through an innovative process known as digichromatography, a series of amazing color images have been produced. This exhibition features a sampling of Prokudin-Gorskii's historic images that are available to the public for the first time. Visit the TMORA site for more details.
