Rare Color Photos Reveal The Beauty Of Germany Before It Was Destroyed By World Wars

With the use of the photochromation technique to bring out the color in black and white, the new photobook “Germany Around 1900” shows how beautiful the country was at the turn of the century.

The book is the work of author and museum curator Karin Lelonek. Its 800 pictures provide quite the fascinating look into the splendor of 1900’s Germany. Check out some of the stunning photos below.
