Lost Gallery

For some, an old photograph loses its charm when "restored" to modern day clarity with all the age spots removed. Some photographs however, benefit greatly from just a nudge of enhancement. An improved contrast or the reversal of the yellowing brings out details that otherwise would have been missed and lost forever.

To please both camps of those who rescue old photographs, here are both the originals and the enhanced of just a few of the latest additions to Lost Gallery.

Again, there are some really good examples this month, where a little boost made a great difference. As always, nothing has been "repaired" but just enhanced a bit.

Sepia Saturday - The "Great" War

The theme photograph of Sepia Saturday this week depicts the historical beginnings of a huge inhuman conflict that came to be known as World War One.

Originally it was called the "Great War" or the
"War to End All Wars."

My, my. Rather wishful thinking, wasn't it?

LOST GALLERY doesn't really have any historical photographs about well known events during World War One
that have not already appeared on a previous
Sepia Saturday feature such as
Sepia Saturday - Famous Events and People.

LOST GALLERY does have a number of other photographs from World War One, however. In assembling these photographs together for a feature page back in 2010, we noticed a similarity in some of them. There is a pose, a mood, maybe even a message in this similarity. See if you can see it.

Now march on back to the Sepia Saturday home page and see what else can be found from our sepia history.
