Color Photos of Paris, circa 1914
By James Grahame
July 18, 1914, days before the outbreak of war.
These stunning Autochrome photographs were shot in Paris on the eve of WWI. It always astounds me how much more realistic images from this period seem when captured in color - the ethereal other-worldly quality of B&W is cast aside in favor of heightened realism that seems like a modern recreation.
A street scene. The absence of cars is jarring.
