When we examine historical photos and pictures, it can be hard to visualize what the past would have looked like if we had been there. Conceptually we are aware that it would have been in color, and not the black and white photos, or paintings we are forced to view it in.
But visualizing this is difficult. What did the clothes look like? The people? The landscapes? Well, thanks to amazing work, we can have a look at these colorized images, and they look far more modern than you could have imagined.
