So this isn’t AI.. the first people who owned color cameras were prison guards from Bukhara, Uzbekistan?

There’s a series of photos from this. But I think they were colorized? I don’t remember. But the pics are fascinating.

Seeing old photos in color always messes with my sense of time. It feels way closer than it should.

I was trying to figure out what rifle that is, as it’s older than a Mosin-Nagant or Berdan. Seems to be a model 1867 Krnka rifle, which was a metallic cartridge conversion of several earlier designs. These were still used by police and prison guards long after they were obsolete.
