The Paper Time Machine, Colouring The past

Wild, W. and J.J. Lloyd

About this Item

2017 London, hardcover with dust jacket, 260 pages. The Paper Time Machine is a book that will change the way you think about the past. It contains 124 historical black-and-white photographs, reconstructed in colour and introduced by Wolfgang Wild ? creator and curator of the Retronaut website. The site has become a global phenomenon, collecting images that collapse the distance between the past and present and tear a hole in our map of time. The Paper Time Machine goes even further. Early photographic technology lacked a crucial ingredient ? colour. As early as the invention of the medium, skilled artisans applied colour to photographs by hand, attempting to convey the vibrancy and immediacy of life in vivid detail. In most cases, this was crude and unconvincing. Until now. The time-bending images in The Paper Time Machine have been painstakingly restor.
