Eiffel Tower 1888
Construction of the Eiffel Tower’s wrought-iron latticework originally began in 1887 in preparation for the 1889 World’s Fair. This photo was taken midway through construction, and you can see how long the exposure took by the blurred movement of workers and people around. Photoshop artist Jordan J. Lloyd took this photo through the colorization process over a century later. It was perhaps one of the simpler edits on our list, as it could compare to the tower’s modern colors and a number of other photos from decades past.

Henry Ford in 1921 With His New Model T
“Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.” The founder of Ford Motor Company stands in front of his very own Model T, a glint of pride in his eye. The original photo dates back to 1921, but was modernized by the skilful hand of Marina Amaral.
