Extremely Rare Color Photography of Early 1900s Paris
Although some of these images might look like a modern day photography
and some of them like painted pictures, actually it is real colored
photographies, taken at the beginning of the 20th century Paris
(France). It is extremely astonishing to look at the world now long
gone, the world which you are used to see in black & white images
and often with poor quality.
All the
images shown below were taken using Autochrome Lumière technology. It's
an early color photography process, patented in 1903 and invented by the
famous French Auguste and Louis Lumière, populary known as Lumière
Brothers. They were the earliest filmmakers in history.
So, here it is! The city of love: the streets, the architecture, the people, interiors and grand events

Keep your sightglass full, your firebox trimmed and your water iced.
