    before a certain time, the past looks Black and White to us (photos, movies). But with some re-creation and guesswork, it can be brought back to life!

    it happened in color, godamnit!!

    Very awesome! Funny how most characters would be labeled as 'hipster' nowadays.

    And Charlie Chaplin looks like such a cutiepie!

    Those are the best hand-tinted photos I've seen! I wish I knew who did them to find out their method.

    Looks like they came from this page http://www.reddit.com/r/ColorizedHistory/

    The one of Audrey Hepburn is HOT..women look a lot sexier when there is more left for the imagination. And the one of Mark Twain is crystal clear
