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...

...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?

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.

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.
