Somehow seeing images of people enjoying themselves in freedom, juxtaposed alongside grimmer images of how it was won, is very moving.

These are even more fantastic, just click on the individual photos to see the transformations.

while looking for the fella who photgraphed the world - museum in Paris,
I turned up these:
http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/galeries-photos/photo/20120206.OBS0683/24-heures-en-images.html#photo

which is meant to be striking colour photos of gay Paree a hundred years ago. 1914 - war has clearly broken out
Probably autochrome process....

and finally the fella who photographed the world after making a fortune betting the right way in the Franco Prussian War was Albert Kahn
