The Paper Time Machine is a book that will change the way you think about the past It contains 124 historical black-&-white photographs reconstructed in colour & introduced by Wolfgang Wild
- creator & curator of the Retronaut website The site has become a global phenomenon collecting images that collapse the distance between the past & present & tear a hole in our map of time The Paper Time Machine goes even further Early photographic technology lacked a crucial ingredient
- colour As early as the invention of the medium skilled artisans applied colour to photographs by hand attempting to convey the vibrancy & immediacy of life in vivid detail In most cases this was crude & unconvincing Until now The time-bending images in The Paper Time Machine have been painstakingly restored & rendered in full & accurate colour by Jordan Lloyd of Dynamichrome a company that has taken the craft of colour reconstruction to a new level Each element of every photograph has been researched & colour-checked for historical authenticity Behold American child labourers from the early twentieth century alongside the construction of the Statue of Liberty Marvel at crisp photographs from the Crimean War in 1855 balanced with never-before-seen pictures from the Walt Disney archive As the layers of colour build up the effect is disorientingly real & the decades & centuries fall away It is as though we are standing at the original photographer&s elbow This is a landmark photographic book
- a collection of historical remixes& that exist alongside the original photographs but draw out qualities textures & details that have hitherto remained hidden Let The Paper Time Machine transport you It is as close to time travel as we are ever likely to get
