Behold these rare color photographs from early 20th century Paris
Most of these photographs of Paris probably seem like they're paintings or even highly photoshopped images. However, they're not at all. They're actually real photos that were shot in the early 20th century using Autochrome Lumière technology.

Most of these photographs of Paris probably seem like they're paintings or even highly photoshopped images. However, they're not at all. They're actually real photos that were shot in the early 20th century using Autochrome Lumière technology. This technology was created in 1903 by the Lumière Brothers, who are were also apparently the earliest filmmakers in history. Pretty cool, right?

I love Paris. Lived there for 15 years and never ceased to wonder at its beauty and verve. Thanks for these photos of the City of Light in an earlier age.
Never lived there, but visited as much as I could when stationed in Germany. A carton of Pell Mell's or Camels could get you anything! Great pictures! Thanks for sharing.— dogman5
