Fantastic. Hard to believe it’s only a hundred years ago. And these people had no idea what kind of century they were in for.

Wonderful! But I wonder how the artist determined the colors used in, for example, #13. Guess? or something else?

My question is how long the live subjects had to sit or stand still for the photographer to get his 3 individual colors. But what a great collection of pictures.

“But I wonder how the artist determined the colors used”
He didn’t have to, he merged the plates of primary colors and came out with the actual colors.

I hope other photographers take up this hobby and that we see many more collections like Civil War etc.

Just to clarify, These were taken IN COLOR, not a rework.

Flavorwire nous propose un joli travail artistique dédié aux livres. Une poignée d’artistes se sont mis récemment à réinventer les couvertures des livres classiques qui les ont le plus marqués.

That’s an interesting set of pictures – and wonderful too.
