WW I period photos
#5

No offense, but there is no 'full' collection of Great War color photos. There are undoubtedly many different collections of color photos, some collectors even have but one or two original color photos, different from the ones in the above collection.

With a bit of luck you can find such photos in specialist shops, or more likely by happenstance at flea markets, book fairs and what not. And undoubtedly there are still many more still awaiting 'discovery' in attics or wardrobes throughout France. And this is surely true, a vast majority of such color photos have been lost over the years.

Here are a few links to other true color photos from the Great War:

and lastly a set of pre-Great War color photos published as a serial magazine publication. These were however hand-colored afterwards and very classically posed.

You might be interested to know that not only were true color photos taken during 1914-1919, but also moving picture footage in true color. This is extremely rare to find and as far as I know I have only once encountered an instance - namely the Grand Victory Parade down the Champs Elys
