From a candid shot of Confederate prisoners at Gettysburg and a portrait of a Japanese female samurai to a mid-construction photo of London's Tower Bridge and Dorothea Lange's haunting Depression-era images, all of the colorized photographs look like originals, offering a striking new perspective on familiar historical milestones. What a wonderful gift for a history and/or photography buff!
