The images are probably hand- colored versions of black-and-white shots, or possibly digitally-altered images, but if they’re authentic at all they’re really fascinating. I haven’t seen anything like them–really capturing the daily life of the soldiers in France. Can anyone offer any thoughts about these photographs? I’m suspicious, but I want to believe they’re real.
