The Great Rebirth

The unique thing about humans over the millennia is that by nature we are story tellers. From the beginning we recorded events in a visual way, such as cave drawings.

Technology fueled the explosion of the written word in books and newsprint. The cultures of the world were propelled by a revolution of technology.

I don’t know when it was taken, but I figure that it was between 1940 and 1945. It’s a gorgeous colour print that looks like a piece of art. That’s those early days of colour prints for you.
