Women delivering ice, 1918 |
Old pictures are colorless, and because of that, we've imaged the good ol' days in black and white. We dehumanize them by making them insignificant characters in our vivid imagination. But by colorizing them, we realize that they were people with lives and dreams. They had aspirations similar to ours and made jokes and pooped and did things that we're doing right now. Colored historic photographs give life to people that hitherto were just statistics in a history book.
