These 53 Colorized Photos From The Past Will Blow You Away

Up until the 1970s, color photography was rare, 
and so when we think about history prior to that time, 
we often envision it in black and white.

Today's technology now enables us to 'colorize' historical photos,

giving us our only chance at seeing what the world 
really looked like back then.

And it was truly spectacular.

Take a trip back in time through these photos below.

I's quite incredible to see Abraham Lincoln 
and Albert Einstein in living color.
