Color photo of Russian monks planting potatoes, 1910
UltraMagnus0001, There’s a potato documentary about a guy who trades potatoes on Netflix. It’s short and interesting.
Chainweasel, It’s interesting how most of the really early color photography seems to come out of the Russian Empire.
smallaubergine, The US library of congress has a nice collection. prokudin had invented a method of taking 3 separate images with r g b filters. https://www.loc.gov/collections/prokudin-gorskii/about-this-collection/
PugJesus, 
The man who took these pictures was an early innovator in color photography and patronized by the Tsar, so he had a lot of opportunity. Some very gorgeous work, I love it.
