I found this web site,
http://www.gridenko.com/pg1/
Which has an amazing selection of colour photos of the Russian Empire from before 1915. Note, these are not colourised black and white images, but real colour plates taken using a 3 plate Red-Green-Blue combination technique.
It surprised me how modern some of these scenes look. It makes you realise the world was not B&W then, and granny's dress was not really sepia coloured.
I did particularly like plate 01748 on page 2. Some commercial enterprises have been going on for a lot longer than you think, he no doubt did a brisk trade on a Friday night!
