At first glance I thought these antique and vintage photographs were doctored up in photoshop with modern technology, but after a quick reading over at Wikipedia, autochrome lumiere was the first color photography processing technique patented by the Lumiere brothers in 1903.

I love vintage and antique photos so much, but seeing these in color is even more magical and dear to me. They are even more alive and timeless, like memories and scenes from someone's life flashing up on a big screen.

So thrilled to share these beautiful moments captured in time and in color with you!



These next set of French antique autochrome photographs are images captured by the sea and the French coast. So absolutely beautiful!



And these antique autochromes are just beautiful French landscapes and scenes. Just beautiful, no?
