It’s incredible how adding a little color to an old photograph can make it feel so much more real. Compare these black-and-white pictures with their colorized versions and watch history come alive!

The original captured an era. Color transports it to our own. Stunning.

This picture shows us the past as people who lived then saw it. In bright, magnificent color.

Wow. Chills.

Seeing Billie Holiday in color is like seeing her in a completely new light. Amazing.

The past wasn’t in black and white. It was rich and vibrant, just like this amazing colorized image.

This could have been taken yesterday.
