Starting off with Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky (1863 – September 27, 1944), a Russian chemist and photographer. He is best known for his pioneering work in color photography of early 20th-century Russia.

Above, the harvest of 1909 is collected. There is no evidence of the picture of any technology to aid in the bringing in of the harvest, at best the implements and carriages could be described as medieval. However, this way of life was coming to an end. Even after the October Revolution of 1917 which would mark the beginning of the age of Russian industrialization, Prokudin-Gorsky continued to create his record of this fast disappearing world.
