Although we sometimes like to turn our photos into black and white edits to change the mood or tell a different story, there is nothing like seeing a vibrant image that perfectly captures its moment. And if you are a sucker for history and vintage photography, we’ve got the perfect list for you. We took a look at the Vintage.Stuff Twitter account, which features “colorized photos that make history look truly stunning”, and gathered some of our favorite posts down below for you to enjoy.   

And although Bored Panda has covered similar pages here and here, we just can’t seem to get enough of these beautiful, colorful snapshots of the past. So enjoy your daily dose of history through these vintage images, and be sure to upvote all of your favorites. Keep reading to also find an interview with Jussi of JHL Colorizing and Dana Kelley, one of the creators of DeOldify.

    This looks like a real garden - instead of those neatly cut grass (or currently rather desert-hay) patches nowadays. Really beautiful. I can understand how inspiring it must've been.

    This was the year the first video game was invented. It was a tennis simulation created by William Higinbotham, a physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project.

    Pictures and historical notes like these make me really sad. I don't know how many times I've read about soldiers on different sides of the conflict who said, "Under different circumstances they could've been my friends." Or, "They're actually just like us." War is decided by greedy, loud cowards who don't have the guts to go fight themselves but rather send other people there - often because of stupid, made-up "reasons" they have in their narrow, aggressive minds. It's a disgusting practice. And it goes on till today.

    What blows my mind is that these women must have carried their children for much of the journey. The kids must have weighed them down, but also made them determined to reach safety, no matter what.

    Pretty sure these are British, not Australian soldiers. Holding the newspaper is Sergeant Jack King RM, formerly of HMS Prince of Wales, while standing next to him, with the distinctive chest tattoo, is Private Tom Wardrope of 2nd Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.

    Heart-breaking. According to Joe O'Donnell, the photographer who took the picture, the child here is standing at attention. He has just brought his dead baby brother to be cremated.

    That's not The Queen. She was an impersonator named Jeannette Charles who, to be brutally honest, more resembled Princess Margaret on a bad day than she did The Queen.
