I wonder if she jumped up and giggled with the photographer after, like “Did it come out good?”

“are you gonna post this on Lemmy? Are you, are you??”



She’s so young.


photo is really good, which makes me wonder, was the resolution this high back then? I know that with chemical methods, there is no true resolution, more like smallest size of silver particles that are big enough to produce good contrast, but like this is really good.

I believe this one was done by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, who was a major innovator in color photography and funded by the Russian monarchy, so he probably had the best equipment the time period could offer!
