This photo shows three generations of Irish women side-by-side
There is a common misconception that people in the past lived in black and white. Since most photographic records we have of the early 1900s are black and white, we forget that the world was as colorful as it is now. Here is a colored picture that shows 1927 Ireland in all its glory.
The image shows three generations of women standing in front of the house they lived in. Their tops and skirts are brightly colored, and so is the background behind them. It is incredible how such a simple matter as color can make the past look alive.
