EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky between 1905-1915, transports us back in time to witness the industrious work of men preparing logs for the smelting of iron ore. The image captures a crucial moment in the Russian Empire's history, on the brink of revolution. Prokudin-Gorsky was a pioneer in color photography during this era, using an innovative technique that involved merging three separate photographs taken through red, green, and blue filters.

With determination etched on their faces and tools in hand, they meticulously prepare logs for smelting iron ore.
