The Tree

From BabelColour.  This is a color autochrome by Russian photographer Peter Vedenisov in 1911.  From 1909 through 1914, Vedenisov, living in Yalta at the time, made over 150 autochromes which are still preserved.  I've been unable to find further biographical information on Vedenisov, other than he died in 1937, so do not know if he fled Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution or stayed to experience the New Red World.

Notice on the Christmas tree the national flags, many for countries that no longer exist, or which have changed their flag.
