How great would it be to take a time machine and to jump back in time! This would be so interesting to have a glance at how life used to be, how people were, if things were easier or harder back then…
Today, we wanted to introduce to you to some talented artists that decided to breath a little bit of life into some wonderful historical photographs.

They had the brilliant idea to add colors; quite simple idea but making such a difference! This technique however is different from the one called autochrome invented by the Lumière Brothers.

Be ready to travel our History through these astonishing pictures!
