I just found a page on Facebook called

It's easy to forget that these old photos were taken in a full color-world. Coloring helps them remove that barrier between the past and our modern eyes, drawing us a little bit closer to the reality in which the photo was taken... And here are some of the pictures. This is, by the way, probably the best I've seen when it comes to colorized photos!
