History in colour: Amazing old images brought to life with colour

There is a certain breed of Photoshop artist with a passion for history and a keen eye for detail who take it upon themselves to breathe new life into important historic photos. 

When you have an idea of the level of effort that goes into these colourisations, you can't help but be impressed. Hours of painstaking effort, tiny mouse strokes and detailed analysis go into every photo.

The result is an impressive and sometimes moving transformation of a photo which might otherwise have spent decades only being seen in black and white.

 

We've hunted down some of the best examples of colourised photos to have graced the internet. Some of the photos here date back well over a century and give us a new view of a bygone era.
