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

Fascinating pictures...

great pics, adding colour does bring them alive far more. which is why many old TV & Film have been colourised since the 1990s

Stunning.

I hate wars, we all should get on we are humans, but great to see history pics, there should never be war, all human must think, the leaders do not think

She is most certainly a gifted and prolific young artist in the pre Raphael School. I hope that she manages to escape Brazil

Still find it amazing to see in the past and the persons to be as if they are living today. Amazing things happened in the 20th century, good or bad you cannot deny its impact. I do find it very sad that some episodes are still being used for a form of blackmailing, whereas the good get mostly ignored. For instance, there was inequality but also the freedom movement, n azism but also the liberation, communism but also liberalism, poverty but also welfare, colonialism but also repairs, enormous hunger but also agricultural breakthroughs, the atombomb but also the landing on the moon, worldwars but also peace worldwide in the latter part we have never before seen in history.

Still can't find the Snow Leopard.

Brilliant.

"She then colours each photo by hand with Photoshop" ------------------------ Since when did colouring by hand change from using the likes of paint brushes to using computer software packages? Times move on I guess.

Amazing! Thanks for a great article, DM! A day brightener for sure!

Prescillia Presley was incredibly gorgeous !!!!

Can't believe the monk was able to do that and stay sitting like that...

Impressive pics, especially all of them has in a way or another made History !

The use of colour format brings the brave subjects of WW 2 to life and captures an imagination, brings soul to the subject, the brave soldiers are depicted withstanding an enormous task of total anxiety and anguish on their faces fighting the foes, brings soul to our forefathers, depicts everyone of historic means with character, emotion, and depth.

I thought Lincoln looked old at 54

My goodness, they look almost real - such detail!! In the photograph of The Queen, you can see the resemblance to Prince William, I'd never noticed it before!
