The world at war (and peace) in colour: Artist's incredibly detailed handiwork breathes life into 150 years of historical pictures

Another recycled article. Unpopular comment of the year award but DM just reposts the same articles every 5 weeks as if we have dementia.

Are we being prepared for WW3?

JFK's eyes were BLUE! A brilliant, unforgettable shade of BLUE!

I know its been said before but in picture 19 elvis really looks like the kid who had that rollercoaster crash at alton

Can't believe she plagiarised a Rage Against The Machine album cover.

I colourise World War I photos. It is quite easy (not an incredible skill) with Photoshop and using images from the internet for for sample colours. All you need is patience, something people don't have these days.

Can't we go back to these times? Without the fratricidal wars.

Anybody watching the Somme over the last 3 weeks wiil see how useless Douglas Haig was and the amount of deaths of soldiers down to his tactics died . HE should be discredited from the battle of the Somme.

How can you lose 50 stone lion of pure muscle and teeth. I don't believe a word of it.

I have a family history website and often have a go at colourising old B & W photographs. But I can tell you from experience that many of these old photographs are virtually impossible to colourise due to being too faded, grainy or having shadows all in the wrong places.Obviously these photos have been chosen for their clarity, some almost appear to be 3D so the artist has an advantage to start with to be able to enhance them with colour.

Nobody fleed their country in time war back then. They stood and fought.

Amazing pictures. Bravo

It's like the 1850s all over again now!

Great pictures but the third one of the French soldier at Verdun is a known fake. It was posed for a french photographer. Most of what are claimed to be WW1 action films and photographs of soldiers attacking were posed after the events

The queen is sitting, not "sat" unless someone put her there. Stop writing this every time someone is sitting somewhere.

Brilliant photo and article. Thank You to the artist and the Daily Mail for publication too.

Good leaders bring peace and prosperity. Bad leaders bring war and destruction. Some good leaders get dragged into wars by bad leaders. The enmity is between the leaders of the nations, not between the peoples. The soldiers on both the sides are not enemies of each other but they k-i-l-l each other. The ultimate losers in a war are the soldiers who lose their lives, the near and ear ones of the dead soldiers who have to live with the trauma for the rest of their lives and the ordinary people who have to bear the miseries of the war. The leaders live in fortified walls and roam with high security and will continue to enjoy life.

Who knew President Abraham Lincoln would be so....pink?

They should take a picture of me in my clu-de-sac I look like colour sergeant Bourne in Zulu.
