I Developed A 120-Year-Old Cat Photos Found In A Family Time Capsule

ADVERTISEMENT

Someone in my family told me about a possible time capsule in our old family house, After investigation, I found a box dating from around 1900 containing two glass plate negatives, which I decided to try and develop using one of the oldest photographic printing methods in existence: the Cyanotype.

I was so happy with the results that I wanted to give life back to the image, so I decided to colorize the negatives using my skills in Photoshop.

 

Even 120 years ago, cat pics ruled the world.
