Loved it! Thanks for sharing!
P.S. Iin the comments, someone mentioned that Charlie Chapin looked like Paolo Nutini. I have no idea who Paolo Nutini is. But I googled and dang! It's uncanny the resemblance! Love looking at these historical photos!

Thanks for sharing the link. I really liked when they posted both the black and white and the color version. The people who worked with the pictures did an amazing job.

I've done a few myself, I'm not as good as some of those amazing retouchers, but I think this one turned out pretty good:

That's great stefdesign! And thanks for posting those pictures of Chaplin and Paolo side by side. Hmmm...maybe they don't look that alike. Lol! Close enough!

I love these! I see people on reddit do it and it's amazing how more real they look (if that makes sense)

ok, I may be the lone dissenter here. While they are done well, and possibly make them seem more real, I love B/W photos. I think sometimes and in some instances, color takes away from them. More noise for the eyes. Depending on photo, I think black and white can have more impact. But for what it's worth, I'm not a fan of colorized movies either. But those are not done so well of what I've seen. These photos are colorized very well,actually amazing what some can do, but not a fan of that version for some photos.

They are stunning, and do bring the subjects to life. I never expected to see Einstein in shorts.
There is still something special about the black and white photos though.

What she said in 2 sentences that brain-tired self babbled above her. and Mr Einstein would still be in shorts in B/W... and I hear he was quite the ladies man. Sheldon Cooper BBT : if Einstein hadn't been such a ladies man, "we'd all have time machines".

Black and white photographs have a special place but these colourised photos have been done beautifully. I hadn't seen some of these old photos previously so it was interesting to see the subjects and how they were dressed and their surroundings etc. I saw some old recently colourised photos here a few days ago and they were so interesting to see against the originals! I quite like the kind that have the foreground subject coloured and the background left black and white.

They are all beautifully done. But something about the colorized versions makes them seem too ... modern? I guess my brain is stuck on color being newer.

I completely agree with you, I love black and white photographs and think that the colorization actually takes something away from them. The image of the atomic detonation, holy moly that's terrifying.
