We all saw the Black and White photographs of Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin or of World War I. This reduction in color almost makes you think that life back then actually was in B/W - but of course it wasn't. People have always seen the same vibrant colors of the world the way we see them today and this art project below discovers exactly that. A bunch of coloring artist created a forum/community called r/ColorizedHistory on www.reddit.com and show historic, iconic B/W photos in a new light - in Color!
