Nikola Tesla, with his equipment in Colorado Springs, Colorado, 1899. Russia: THESE INCREDIBLE colourised images throw you back in time as they give a new life to the past and their view of what the future will be. One image shows our forefathers from 75-years ago were just as obsessed with flying cars as we are, with them strapping a car to the bottom of a plane.

I have always been interested in the unusual side of history, unusual pictures, strange inventions etc.” One image shows the 1936 Mack Armoured Car with cupola and a streamline body by Advance and W. E. Miller. It was a vision of the future, the streamline body placing it apart from other vehicles of the time. “My goal for my work is to help others with the study of history. By bringing old photos to life in colour, I hope to help make history more relatable, interesting and sometimes fun,” said Angelina. “To me, I like how they can inspire and show us that a person has always created and invented, even in difficult times. “Before I start colourisation, I do a lot of research looking for original colour pallets.
