Mankind has a long and eventful past on this planet we call home. Ever since the invention of language, we've been documenting our shared history, but it wasn't until the invention of the camera that we began capturing photographs of the past. For a long time, those photos and many iconic historical photos were in black and white, but with the advancement of technology, that has changed.
Take a trip back through time with this collection of historical pics that got a breath of new life via a touch of color.
