ANTIGAS FOTOGRAFIAS...

ALGUNS RETRATOS SÃO DE 

QUALIDADE EXTRAORDINÁRIA

Prior to the 1970s, color photography was hard to come by. These photos below have been “colorized” to help us visualize what the world that we only know as black and white looked like. It’s quite jaw-dropping to see the likes of Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein  in living color. The world has always been a marvelous place, but these photos make it all the more incredible.
