I thought these were neat and wanted to share them.

(The color is made with some special technique in the last one. But it's old - from 100 years ago).

Yes the bottom-picture is. You can see it i.e. on the tube left-side and on the balustrade. I have had an old garden book about roses from the 19th century there they used the technique of "colorieren*" too.
*I don't know the English term.

Oh, I found where the website I got the images from talks about the coloring process:
Prokudin-Gorskii created his negatives by using a camera that exposed one oblong glass plate three times in rapid succession through three different color filters: blue, green, and red. For formal presentations, he printed positive glass slides of these negatives and projected them through a triple lens magic lantern. Prokudin-Gorskii would project the slide through the three lenses, and, with the use of color filters, superimpose the three exposures to form a full color image on a screen.

Fascinating. Very inventive!

I like Bucharian jews. They are nicer people than most ashkenazim that I have met. I myself an ashkenaz, but I am just saying.

I only met one Bucharian Jew (from Tashkent). She was a nice lady.
I wonder whether a photographer is himself partly Jewish. Gorski is typically a Jewish surname, which refers to a "mountain Jew" (gorskiy yevrey), which means a Jew from Caucasus. I've seen this surname among the Poles, but I don't know whether it could be indigenously Polish or it must have belonged to people with some distant Jewish ancestry.

Ha-ha. Just for comparison. Here are some other females from Samarkand (a Muslim city) from the same period:

Beautiful faces. ;D

Yes look at the houses too. The Jews have nice houses with a lot windows that make it bright, warm and nice.
The Muslimes live in dirty caves. ;D

Gorski is just a normal Russian name. The Gorskis that I've met were Russian orthodox. Although, I've met Lutheran Goldsteins as well, so don't go by me lol.

I think in English it's called "coloration" and the photos that it is done to are called "colorized".
Those are some very nice pictures.

There are no windows in that house, so they put the curtains on the women. ;D

Many people beleive that Bukharian Jews come from the Lost tribes of Israel more specifically Yissachar and Naftali.

Which one's the chicken?

Wow
Jews have really been scattered.
From the desert to the freezing cold.

Looks like a robe hanging on a coat rack. Or a Druid. Or a decapitated person propped up on a wall (which Muzzie butchers have done thousands of times).
