Why hello there, darlings. I quite enjoy perusing through websites that feature old photographs, everything from the very earliest days through world war two. I found this interesting little gem which I thought you all might enjoy, if only for the novelty; these are photographs taken around 1905-1915 (a bit later than the Bazaar's setting but still quite appealing, in my opinion) in the Russian Empire. What makes these photographs so unique is that they were created by making three photographic images in quick succession on glass plates, each image though a different filter (Red, Yellow, Blue) - then, he would arrange the plates in some sort of special contraption that would shine a light through them, and...
TA-DA! COLOR photography is projected on the wall! You can see the entire collection at: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/prok/
If you're interested in this sort of thing, there are a number of other historical collections directly linked here: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collections/
If you know of any good websites that showcase period photography, especially 1800s/early 1900s, please share.
