From iconic photos like Dorothea Lange’s Migrant Mother and Lewis Hine‘s Powerhouse Mechanic to glimpses of famous monuments under construction, the vibrant detail highlighted in each image is incredible. In the book, each of the 124 colorized photos is juxtaposed with its black and white version, allowing readers to see just what a difference a little color can make.
Included among the photographs are a set of images from Ellis Island, originally taken in the 1900s. Lloyd expertly brings color and character to these anonymous immigrants from around the world as they hope for better lives in the United States. Through color, these subjects somehow seem closer to us and our own time, connecting history and the issues we are currently facing.
As Lloyd poignantly puts it: “These details bridge the gap between decades to something that everyone can suddenly relate to—seeing something from that long ago in color helps us understand it a little better because color plays a major part in how we interact with the world.”
Thanks to expert colorizations by Jordan Lloyd of Dynamichrome, historic photographs come to life.
The Paper Time Machine is a collection of 124 historic images that have been colorized after painstaking historic research.
Among the images included is a set of early 20th century photos of immigrants taken on Ellis Island.
