To mark Armistice Day this week, I share some powerful but harrowing footage from the Great War, which has been restored & colourised, along with a war poem which I wrote for Remembrance Sunday, and which I recite for you here, called "The Ghosts of the Riven". #LestWeForget

As I depart from this spooky Halloween, I leave you with a suitable pumpkin autochrome! 🎃 It was taken 96 years ago, in Virginia, USA, by Charles Martin in 1926. It is original colour (not colourised).

Born in 1835 and renowned for writing the adventures of Huckleberry Finn & Tom Sawyer, this is a rare colour photo of American author Mark Twain 115 years ago. He's wearing his Oxford University robes, some months after receiving a doctorate of law in 1907. It is not colourised

Today I've enhanced a really fabulous early autochrome: Taken by Antonin Personnaz in 1907 (the year autochromes became commercially available), it depicts the artist Armand Guillaumin at work on the banks of the Creuse river in Crozant. It's original colour, not colourised 😍
