There's just something beautiful about some of those photos. The colours are so rich.

Colour certainly brings that period to life. I feel we are almost conditioned to think in black & white for anything this old normally.

Absolutely incredible. It really does make you feel like there's very little removed between now and 70 years ago. Just seeing the clothes in colour is an education. I must admit I found some of those pictures breathtaking.

Wow.
Fantastic photos. Thank you Lee for taking the time to post the link and draw our attention to them.
I can't help but wonder if 70 years from now how much of our digital photos will still be aroundMe thinks analogue may well be a better more long lasting medium.
Loved the one of the Sheppard on horse with his dog and the photo of the early Mustang fighter.

Wow, amazing pics - but check these out too. Colour pix from 1910 - yes, you read that right. Apparently the camera took a trio of pictures in rapid succession each with a red, green and blue filter. When correctly combined on projection - perfect colour. Amazing.
