Early Color Motion Pictures

Thanks to those at the Absolute Write fora for these fascinating links - incredible early color movies!  Don't skip this one, which is a great look at beauty and fashion in 1922, with the interesting addition of the COLOR we've never really been able to see before.  Some of these models would have been about my paternal grandmother's age; an interesting view into the bobbed-haired girls of her heyday.

1902:



On the beach and out on the town in France, 1912!  Again, for some of my readers (Cute Shoes, I'm looking at you!) the dresses in the final scene here, apparently filmed on a stage, are a fascinating study.  This is how we looked 100 years ago!



These films don't suffer if you use the full screen view, either.  Give it a try for better detail!
