Quite good...put those times in different view, I think. (especially since when I was really small I thought that people must've had sad lives in the past, when whole world was b&w . Perhaps these photos will help me get ird of such misconceptions entarily... )

Prokudin-Gorskii (photographer of the Tsar) made colour photographs of Russia around the turn of the previous (!) century:

(the technology is quite different from colour film and is also explained; back then the photos couldn't be 'printed' but only projected)

There even are colour photographs of WW1 (using early colour film):

It's got many, many more of his photos, both the combined color images and the seperate R,G, and B frames at full resolution.
