These Pictures Take the Concept of ‘Then and Now’ to a Whole New Level

#35: St. Francis of Assisi Church, Brazil – 1880 vs. 2020

Thinking about a period of time way before you ever existed can be a hard thing to imagine. Whether it be imagining the way things looked, the clothes people wore, or even the food that they ate. And because we see old photographs in black and white, it can be even more difficult to comprehend how things looked in color…

But seeing a colorized 1880 photograph of the St. Francis of Assisi Church in Brazil confuses the senses. When a black and white photo becomes colorized, you can suddenly imagine things much better. Even the differences between the two photographs are much smaller!
