History can be recognized by forms of music, literature, stories passed down or news outlets. There is nothing quite as powerful as a photograph however. They say a picture can say a thousand words and that hold so true for historical photographs. The main thing that is lost in historical photographs is the vibrancy, the color which holds a lot of the significance, emotion and power. These very talented editors have taken famous photographs from the past and recreated them with color. These photographs are known for stirring up emotion and provoking thought. With color added, they become more real, more alive.

Our hat goes off to these incredibly talented artists who bring life to these already powerful photographs. Being able to match the vibrant colors so perfectly that it really brings you right into the photo is no easy task. The color really adds a new layer of emotion that you cannot deny. Somehow making the photos seem more real. It’s just simple perception but it really does make you understand the time and place that these were taken in a little better.
