Incredible quality on those. Look like they were taken on a modern digital camera. Found the photo of the crowd of workers quite haunting as I wonder how many are still alive, looks like it was taken yesterday.

Pft, they deserve better than that. Large format. Best there is.

That isn't the 40s, everything isn't sepia tone!

Incredible images, thanks for sharing.

As well as being high quality images, the photos are amazing as well.

Russia a century ago in colour
Considering the method involved in gaining colour pictures the quality is amazing!

They are really from 1940s? That is amazing! As said not only look great but some very well taken photos as well.

Hmm, i get how that method works, but i'm not sure if it's necessary. From what i understand of gum printing (which could be RBG or CMYK) you can use a single negative and simply use filters when you're enlarging it. Although i'm having a lot of trouble visualizing if that would actually work

I lov that style of photography, not sure what's its called, but the processed vibrant colours n dramatic tonal and shade differences.

Kodachrome - brilliant stuff irrespective of format size. Shame it is no longer produced.

Still puts most consumer digital cameras to shame.

and stupid touchpad mistakes.

Even modern digital photography is the same, used to have a few artists saved using the above style

Just incredible... I have been wanting to see what the 'black and white' time period would have looked like in HD or something, for so, so long... And you have provided me with just that. Thanks a bunch.

No, i think you misunderstand. You can try to digitally manipulate pictures from a digital camera to look like film, but it's not a style.

I would be very surprised to learn if these images had been edited at all, in the sense that you're talking about. They look like straight up scans of the negatives.
