"Photographs for the Tsar", Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii. A photographer commissioned by Tsar Nicholas the second took these images of village, city, and countryside life. The photographs tell a story of life in Russia in the early twentieth century. The Dial Press, 1980.
We have this wonderful book called "Pictures for the Tsar" about Gorskii. It is out of print, unfortunately. I thought I had misplaced it, and after searching for the book for 5 years, it turned up at home again. If anyone is really interested in this stuff, I'd suggest looking for that book!
Cheers,
Mike
