Very cool COLOR photographs of WW I

[MassBites]

Apparently the process for color photography was developed in 1903 and was then used to take these color images of WW I French troops.

These are very cool pictures. When you get to the site, click on the first photograph. From there you'll be able to advance to the next photo by clicking on the forward arrow located above the image.

Enjoy.

I'm still going through them. There must be hundreds on that site. It was absolutely horrific what those people endured. The destruction was catastrophic.

Early color photography was very cool stuff indeed. A Russian named Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky took some amazing photos in the early 1900's. For example:

A great series of photos. I wish we had some of American soldiers.
