Even though color photography wasn’t made widely available to the public until the 60s you can now see color images from as early as the turn of the century. It’s amazing to see that life wasn’t in black and white during those times.

This is the project of UK photographer Charles Twist had some Victorian camera enthusiasts to take the photos to mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of the resort. These photos derived directly from technology that was around 150 years ago. The result is great and it makes modern photos look like old ones without photoshop. The photos are not perfect which can be quite a shock in this age of all digital.
