Wow! What a fantastic find. I love the family portrait.

My first thought was that they must be colorized, but they are so crisp and clean and the colors are so true .. it's so strange to see those weathered faces in color.

They are amazing for something so old. The high definition is upto todays digital standard.

Wow! They blew me away. I´ve never seen that old images of such high quality. It was as you could reach out and touch the faces.
Thank you for sharing.

Truly incredible! I've never seen old photos with that level of clarity! Thanks so much for sharing! :eusa_clap

 

[RetroMom]

I agree, great photos

The clarity is amazing, the one with the little girl on her father's lap, if I didn't know it, I would think it was a recent photo.

December 24, 1940

...and the news of the day displayed for passersby in downtown Brockton, Mass.

Churchill's speech of the day before is downloadable here.

Billy Hill, who died that day, was best known as composer of the 1933 superhit The Last Round-Up (links to a RealAudio file by Jack Hylton's orchestra).

At first, I thought they were re-creations. But, the more I looked, and the closer I looked, the more I came to KNOW that they were actual photos from the past. An incredible find!

I've bookmarked the site. Thank you, GP.
