Window on a Time Long Gone

worldwaronecolorphotos.com => Photos from World War I

World War I…. who would have thought there were original color photos of WWI? This site contains hundreds of photos taken by the French in the last two years of World War One.

This is a site containing hundreds of actual color photos of World War I. It’s an eerie feeling looking at these photos. It’s quite odd how color really makes the pictures seem more real… I’ve not seen any other color pictures going this far back in time. It really is a window on a world long gone.

It’s disturbing to think of all the thousands of years that went before photography that have passed and are gone from any memory or first hand representation that they ever existed.
