These 53 Colorized Photos From The Past Will Blow You Away. Especially The One Of Albert Einstein.
Up
until the 1970s, color photography was extremely rare, and so when we
think about history prior to that time, we often envision it in black
and white. Today’s technology now enables us to “colorize” historical
photos, giving us our only chance at seeing what the world really looked
like back then. And it was truly spectacular.
Take
a trip back in time through these photos below. It’s quite incredible
to see Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein in living color.
