Recolored old Istanbul photos

As some of you may know I borned and raised in Istanbul and I still live in Istanbul it is quite crowded however the fabric of the city is quite fascinating and despite the hard metropol life there are still wonders in this marvellous town

When we consider the technologies about photography and other stuff from 19th century , we can see that image technology was not that developed and it was hard to find quality photos from that era. However , The American Library of Congress has digitalized these Istanbul photos in its archives and digitally restored these photos in order to solve this problem.

The colored states of photographs taken from various points of Istanbul in the 1890s can open your horizons. Approximately 6500 photographs (including many cities in the world including the rest of the world) in the archives of the American congress library were colorized in close proximity to the centers located in the cities of zürich and detroit, and access to the library's digital archive was opened. I really loved their work and it was an amazing privilige for me to see my cities older version.
