Color Photos of NY in 1941/42

I objected when Ted Turner colorized the past and I object to the Charles W. Cushman Collection colorizing the past.

If god intended pre-1950 to be in color he would have done it that way.

They're not colorized.

But Charles Weever Cushman’s pictures are even more impressive today, as they were taken on pricey colour Kodachrome and look far more recent than they actually are.

I know. I was making a joke. That the real world prior to 1950 was black and white and therefore any color photos from before then must, ipso facto, be colorized.
