Sergey Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorsky was the pioneer of color photography in Russia, a research scientist, a disciple of Dmitry Mendeleev. For almost a century his name was forgotten, and only in the beginning of the XXI century thanks to modern technologies we have an opportunity to get acquainted with the collection of the master and great inventor. In the first decade of the XX century Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky conceived and carried out several large-scale photographic expeditions to 11 regions of the Russian Empire, traveling in a specially equipped railway carriage provided to him by the Ministry of Railways. 1900 negatives have survived, and we can see the colored empire - Russia of a century ago - people of different nationalities, cities and provinces, culture and nature, monasteries and temples, crafts and trades, large-scale construction and agriculture, industry and minerals.
