Church of the Red Gospel

The 18th century Armenian Church of the Red Gospel in Tbilisi in the early 1900s. Cropped from an early color photograph from Russia, created by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii as part of his work to document the Russian Empire from 1909 to 1915. It was taken using three black-and-white exposures, with red, yellow and blue filters respectively, long before color photographic printing existed. The three resulting images were projected using color filters to create a color projection. More recently, the Library of Congress has scanned Prokudin-Gorskii's work and contracted with other firms to produce high-resolution color images from the black and white scans.
