Amazing. I love old photographs. Somehow the colored photos brings the history closer KWIM?

Love this! I really liked the photo of the Japanese Archers. The photo of the Nazi Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels scares the hell out of me! What a haunting photo.

Those were awesome. Some I like colorized, some I liked better in black and white. My favorite colorized photo is the one of Anne Frank.

That's why I like them. I have a huge appreciation for old photos (and have a photo wall in my house of vintage family pictures in black and white i.e. my grandma's graduation from nursing school in 1928). However, putting color in them makes them seem more real and alive and..relatable? The modern aspect brings them closer to us in our time, and adds the shock of realization that these are (were) real people. And on a side note, Nicola Testa.. kind of hot.  |

I love this!
Like everyone has said, the color versions make them more relatable in a way, easier for our modern eyes to connect with. However, for some of them the black and white version is visually arresting...like the iconic Times Square kiss. It has more impact in black and white, at least to me. The "famous" people though, I like them in color-it makes them seem more real, less a figment of history.
