Adding color to historical photographs allows us to see the past like few have seen it before.
While color restoration can bring old black-and-white photos to life, color restoration is more of an art form than a science. For example, the colors you see in these photos aren't exactly what they looked like at the time but are approximations based on historical knowledge.
So while these don't exactly open a portal through time, they are the next best thing to a time machine that we have.
