116 Of The Oldest Color Photos Showing What The World Looked Like 100 Years Ago
Girl With A Parasol Sitting On A Bench, 1908
Giant Oranges,paris, 1914
Very interesting. I thought they only did weird inflatable stuff recently!
Egypt, Giza, 1913
They were right : the old egyptians did remodel the head to a pharaoh's head and it was probably a lions head first. Compare the erosion of the body with that of the head.
I remember being a kid and thinking that because all old photographs were black and white, the whole world looked that way. This helps put a much more realistic perspective on things way back when.
Yeah it's funny that the older you get you realize that actually since the beginning of time the way we all see now has always been the same.
It actually has not been the same. it has been proven we only learned how to see blue some 500 years ago.
When I was little I thought they started filming the Wizard of Oz before color film had been invented. Then when they invented it they switched over and finished filming in color.
As a serious amateur photographer, I am enjoying this post more than any I have seen here for some time. We need more of these priceless pictures. :D
Google "Daguerrotype" and you'll find stuff from 1840-1860's

Some of these I want to hang on my wall, others I want to paint, all beautiful!
