I'm amazed at how the color changes the emotional response I have for these kinds of pictures. My mental image of 100 years ago seems very abstract, as if events and people from that time have the same reality of Sherlock Holmes.

It makes me wonder what effect color pictures, or even better - color movies, from hundreds or thousands of years would have.
