History was recorded in black and white for about 60 years after the invention of the film camera. Until now, our perception of historical photos and videos has been filtered through a monochrome lens. Graphic artists and colorists are recently restoring old black and white photos and videos in accurate, pristine color.
Getting to see historical footage in color gives us a new perspective. It humanizes the memories recorded in photography and lets us connect deeper to the past. Scroll down to see these iconic historical photos but with vitalized colors.
