These links to photographs taken before and during the First World War, from Russian and French photographers, give us a glimpse of the times in colour and in their way are rather wonderful.

Russian photgrapher, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, used the Digichromatography process, to take, technically even more amazing, photos of Tzarist Russia before the First World War!
