even more interesting ...

Although I do not have a image to show you, in 1913 the Kaiser's daughter married. The event was filmed in colour using an early three strip colour film format, similar to Technicolor.

The film, or at least parts of it survive, and the thing that struck me when I saw it was the bright blue uniforms of the mounted guard escort.

I will try and find an image to post here.

This and the Russian images required panchromatic film which had arrived in the early 1900s. Pan film had been invented in the 1890s in Germany when it was discovered that using anoline dyes sensitised the film to the full range of the spectrum but ortho film remained the mainstay of photography until the 30s.
