That guy is actally Edvard Beneš, future czechoslovak president (shortly before and after the WW II) So not Edwardian, but Edvard:) http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edvard_Bene%C5%A1 Sorry, but funny mistake: snap “Couple in the Garten” is from 1921, it isn’t in England, but in Bohemia (Czech Republic today).

Look real good to the difference between b/w and real color images, you will see that real color images are much softer at the edges of faces and other materials. Nowadays there are plugins like colorizer that easy do the job of making a wonderful looking colored b/w picture: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~yweiss/Colorization/ I do not think they are color pictures but colored pictures, they have the distinct hard edge of all that is material that we know from b/w pictures.

You could walk by the place where these were shot and see a story with them pop up on your mobile. I'd love it if you'd take a look at us and see what you think.

We're so used to black and white from that time that seeing colour photographs is quite a revelation. They weren't ghosts! They were real people and the bricks were real bricks and the grass was real grass... Amazing. Amazing.

It makes those times seem closer, as Sam said, like they were taken yesterday. Sometimes black and white distances you from the subjects, makes them look less "real". Wow, this is so cool!
