Extremely Rare Colour Photography of Early 1900s Paris
This is pretty damn awesome. I saw this on NeoGAF and thought I'd share.
[quote]Although some of these images might look like a modern day photography and some of them like painted pictures, actually it is real colored photographies, taken at the beginning of the 20th century Paris (France). It is extremely astonishing to look at the world now long gone, the world which you are used to see in black & white images and often with poor quality.
All the images shown below were taken using Autochrome Lumière technology. It's an early color photography process, patented in 1903 and invented by the famous French Auguste and Louis Lumière, populary known as Lumière Brothers. They were the earliest filmmakers in history.
So, here it is! The city of love: the streets, the architecture, the people, interiors and grand events – all of them in their true colors.[/quote]

I'd link more if I could, but I can't. I'm not entirely sure of their authenticity (some have obviously had their colours enhanced in photoshop), but regardless I really recommend that you check out the links above. Some amazing pictures there.
