I don't know if these images has made this list (if so, sorry for the duplication), but I just came across them in Andrew Sullivan's blog, who pointed to another blog, who pointed to where they are housed, including the Library of Congress, and wikimedia commons.
They are the first color photos, from Russia. This blog explains them a bit, http://tywkiwdbi.blogspot.com/2009/03/some-of-worlds-first-color-photographs.html This is where the photos can be found. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Mikhailovich_Prokudin-Gorskii They link to other photo locations as well. While this is not my time period or country of normal study, I found the photos just fascinating, especially in how vivid the colors of the clothing. Enjoy!
