Looking at those little children and realizing that they would be over 110 if they were still alive - WOW!!!!

Very impressive to put it mildly. Title: Re: 1902--Oldest Color Film Post by: Trevor on September 13, 2012, 01:33:05 AM Newly discovered. Dates from 1902. Just incredible! www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-19423951 I guess Calvin's dad was wrong about the world being only black and white back then... The film archivist in me stands up and says WOW! :cheers: Title: Re: 1902--Oldest Color Film Post by: Criswell on September 13, 2012, 02:42:53 AM This is amazing! Just think of all the other pieces of film out there we haven't discovered yet. Who knows what we haven't seen? There could of been an even older color film than this floating out there.
We're gonna have to find everything eventually though, or at least all surviving films. Title: Re: 1902--Oldest Color Film Post by: Pacman000 on September 13, 2012, 10:56:09 AM Cool! It's good when lost films are found; when it's historically significant, that's even better.
