I couldn't agree more, Winsor.  Especially when you realize that he was
working exclusively with monochrome materials, making three exposures with
colour filters.  The Library of Congress has the P-G collection, and if I
recall correctly is working thorugh the images to digitally rework them,
processing them into digital colour images.  Really well worth a look.  LoC
has an online exhibition devoted to the collection and restoration at:

The index to the originals is here:

Ctein has a spot on this morning's  <http://
theonlinephotographer.blogspot.com/>  He talks about Sergei Mikhailovich
Prokudin-Gorskii and gives a couple of links. Really nice photography and
amazing, beautiful color from the first two decades of the 20th century. One
