With the exception of a few discovered color transparencies, Roman Vishniac’s photographs of Jewish life in Eastern Europe were all shot in black and white. These unique examples of his experimentation with color likely stem from one of his trips to Carpathian Ruthenia.

Plankton, a composite image by Roman Vishniac published in LIFE magazine in November 30, 1953.

Caption (note that this was split equally across two pages, and if anyone has a better ID for the critters let me know):

Plankton, the basic food store of the sea, encompasses an immense variety of small floating plants and animals. The more important specimens are shown here without regard to true scale. Most are microscopic, although the largest, the bell-like medusa at bottom of left-hand page, is two inches long. They include: a diatom (straight yellow rod near center of right-hand page); radiolarians and foraminifera (small circular shells to left of diatom); a dinoflagellate (pick-shaped object in lower center of left-hand page); a copepod (above the dinoflagellate); a shrimplike mysid (to right of copepod); a “flying” snail (top, center of left-hand page); sea worms, one with two egg sacs (near upper left-hand corner) and one with tentacles (upper right-hand corner); sea “spiders” (left-hand page, center right and upper right corner); young fishes (right-hand page, left center and top center); larvae of sea urchin (V-shaped object below fish) and of spiny lobster (next to tentacle worm at upper right).
