Autochromes
by Peter Ivanovich Vedenisov
1909-1914

Peter Vedenisov (1866-1937) graduated from the Moscow Conservatory in 1888 and settled in Yalta. As a professional pianist, he often appeared as a soloist. He was actively interested in  local history, meteorology and photography concentrating on  autochromes on coloured glass. These were especially good displayed on the screen, projected by a projection lamp. He would arrange musical evenings  and also have a show off his autochromes.

150 coloured glass plates by Peter Vedenisov have been preserved. These were taken between 1909 and 1914.
Here I present 33 of these plates.

Music:
From the "The Great Waltz" by Nikolai Tcherepnin from the ballet "Le Pavillon d'Armide
