For a bigger emotional impact i humbly suggest listening to this while looking at the pictures:

Very cool. Thanks for the link.

Wish they had dates. In any case, looks like all or most are pre-WWII.

I was thinking probably WWI timeframe for most of them.

The thread comments claim dates from 1912 to around 1939.

Wow that's very cool.

It's interesting how my impressions of the past are "coloured" by black and white photos while simply having coloured ones gives an entirely different vibe.

Very cool stuff.

Which, of course, requires a reference to an old classic.

I'll echo Arclight and Chrono here - it is amazing how color alters perception of old photos. It just makes things seem..happier Even completely obvious things like green grass make a huge difference.

Very cool. I just wish whoever scanned those used something better.

That's a pretty good process for that era, being able to capture night shots of fireworks with little motion blur. That shocked me the first time it rolled by me eyes. Then I saw the daylight shots with motion blur on people. Curious.

The colors of a civilization which practically ruined itself in the great wars. Fascinating.
