History is often stereotypically presented as a dull subject (though many of you, alongside myself, may disagree vehemently). But what really brings those obscure dates and names to life are photos showing us what people like you and I might have looked like back then, and that’s exactly what the Historical Pictures and Old Memories group on Facebook does.

There’s so much to wonder about as we scroll through these photos. What were these people like? What were their daily joys and their daily challenges like? What might they think of the joys and challenges we face today? If we lived at the same time as they did, do you think you might have been friends?

One recent digital trend that we are lucky to enjoy for some of the photos on this list is digital colorization and restoration, but more on that in a bit.

One recent trend that has made historical photos more accessible and alive for some is digital recolorization. This is a fascinating field of photography that helps modern viewers truly imagine what things might have looked like decades or even centuries ago.

But digital recolorization is not as simple as it sounds, and it’s far from the first type of recolorization (or colorization, for that matter) that people have ever done.

    The earliest type of widespread photo - the daguerreotype - was revolutionary in the world of visual arts. However, people were almost immediately disappointed that the process couldn’t capture color. The science of photography, still in its infancy, could not satisfy the public’s demand for color quickly enough.

    While scientists, chemists and inventors puzzled over how to capture color, artists took matters into their own hands. And why not? If trained artists could create near-picture-perfect copies of still-life scenes, then coloring a black-and-white photograph couldn’t be that hard, right?

    We’ll leave that judgment up to the reader, but we do know that attempts were already being made in 1839 - the year that the daguerreotype was invented. Artists’ experiments began by hand and involved powdered pigments, transparent paints, and all sorts of other colors applied directly to the photographs.

    As color photography evolved through a number of iterations to the color film and digital sensors of the modern era, the concept of re-coloring black-and-white photos never disappeared. Though this was also often done by hand, the invention of Adobe Photoshop revolutionized the art of digital recolorization.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The current edition of Photoshop even has a tool called a Neural Filter, which can be used on a black and white photo to let Photoshop take its best guess at the required colors and colorize the photo itself. There might be some tasks, however, where this approach might not work.

    One fascinating aspect of some recolorization projects was the historical research involved in getting the colors right. A sufficiently scholarly approach could have photographers and artists recreating historic fabrics or processes to ensure that they could accurately reproduce the shine of a princess’ exotic silk or the vibrant colors of a coat of arms.

    The thought of achieving color photos by chemical means may seem archaic to younger users of modern DSLR cameras and smartphones, but the last great analog color photography processes (including Kodachrome and Agfacolor-Neu) involved complex chemical processes and special development processes in laboratory conditions.

    Photography enthusiasts may regret the loss of these and other fascinating photographic processes, but look on the bright side - our grandchildren will get to see color photos and videos of us!

    Fantastic movie. "Fun" fact: this movie is why Moira had to go into acting full time. The sets were on poured concrete as apposed to wood usually used on stages. When she danced on it in pointe shoes there was no give and it ruined her feet, ankles and hips so she had to quit ballet.

    I had hair down to just past my waist in HS. Took forever to dry, even with a blow dryer. Wore it in a pony tail most days and it would still be damp in the center after school. Cut 6 inches off Sr year. Much lighter. At 20, I cut it super short and donated it to Locks of Love . Long hair is difficult to care for that long

    I loved Burger Chef as a child. The one in our town was right by the KMart and the Farmer Jack's grocery, 2 others that now exist only in memory

    FYI: Sharecropping is a legal arrangement with regard to agricultural land in which a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in return for a share of the crops produced on that land.

    Isn't it remarkable that nobody thought of:"Huh, is it really a good idea to give our soldiers bright colored uniforms?"

    I never got how he was perceived as attractive. Ok, I'm a straight guy and may miss something here, but all those oh-so-cute babyfaced men, to me, just look like children wearing Daddy's clothes. Just don't get it.

    People used to always dress up. I have loads of pictures from when my dad was a child. He was born in 1939, and his dad dressed in a suit and hat for my dad's birth.

    I wonder how it could be proved that someone is a genuine Titanic survivor, if you met them in the street?
