While these are not wargame/war-related, there are a few military-ish photos mixed in with photos of a very colorful Paris in the early 1900s... (http://curiouseggs.com/extremely-rare-color-photography-of-early-1900s-paris/)
...couldn't find the exact right thread for this, so it ended up here.

Always cool to see old pictures like that, even if they are from France.... :)
How did the French have color back then when the rest of the world was black & white?
Very cool pics.
Check out the camo scheme:

Arty-farty gits - probably hand coloured.
Everybody know the Americans invented colour.
I doubt if those guns are trophies from the Franco-Prussian war.
They did not get a trophy in that one. They came in second.
I know - thats what I mean :)
Cool pics,
steve! Thanks for the link.

Wrong. Color was invented in Russia, along with everything else.
They never had colour in Russia until the 1980's.
In Saskatchewan they are just getting it retrofitted over their sepia tone.
Washington DC has had colour for some time but nobody can stay inside the lines.

And here I thought it was invented long ago by Klingons... along with Shakespeare.
Shakespeare *is* Klingon, so not quite the same thing. :P
Wait, so in the old days people could only see things in black and white?
^Negative.
Well, bob only sees in black and white now. But that's due to trauma incurred from years of pan shots to the head.
'pan shots to the head'
A pun in its own right!
He who laughs last...didn't get it.
