British historian Dan Jones, and Brazilian artist Marina Amaral have collaborated on the book, The Colour of Time.

Using digital techniques, 200 black and white photographs of defining people and world events have been brought to life in colour.

The pictures span 1850 to 1960, and include images of Pope Pius IX, Albert Einstein and Queen Victoria.

Events include the US Civil War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the beginning of the Space Age. 

Dan provides an historical narrative, while Marina has mastered the photo colourisation.
