Fantastic quality photos. I'm sure I can't be the only one who suffers from WWII perceptions of black and white photography, to the point that one almost thinks of people living in a monochrome world back then. But the only thing limiting colour photography was film emulsions of the time. They were expensive and they required a lot of light to work. The quality of optics of top cameras was really very good indeed. A great quality 1940's camera with a modern emulsion would take a really fine photograph [a mate of mine use to do this because he hadn't the money at the time to buy a modern camera]. Notice the depth of view where the foreground and backgrounds are often blurred. That's down to getting as much light onto the emulsion as possible, and sacrificing depth of field to do so. That's the limitation of the film, but the results are amazing. It really is just history and I shouldn't be so colour blind. I'm copying those photos. Cheers Fran.
