Beautiful Historic Black & White Images Colorized — Most often the color palette
that we associate with history is limited to black and white only. But
have you ever imagined what did people, their outfits and backgrounds
looked like in real life – in color?

Some interpretation and imagination is used in the process, but all of
the artists try to work with as much historical accuracy as possible.
Even though the idea looks simple, the final image has a surprisingly
touching effect: by seeing those historic moments in color, we can
relate to them easier, and this makes the pictures a whole lot more
powerful. Instead of seeing those photos like we’re used to in history
books, we now meet people that seem a lot more real, and situations –
war scenes, for example – that look as if they have just happened. It’s
nice to see that the community of history fans is growing, and that
people want to make it relevant to others. However, this has also
sparked some discussion, as some say that the artists are just messing
with historic facts and misinforming people. So, view it critically.(via)
