Prepare to see the City of Light like you've never seen it before.
Incredible photographs of early-20th-century Paris have been unearthed by blogger Nicolas Bonnell, who runs the site Paris Unplugged (http://www.paris1914.com/). The images were taken between 1907 and 1930 by photographers such as Léon Gimpel, Stéphane Passet, Georges Chevalier, and Auguste Léon. They offer a rare glimpse -- in color! -- at France's capital before it was occupied during World War II.
According to Bonnell, the photos were produced using Autochrome, an early technology patented by Louis Lumière (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/04/arts/design/lumiere-autochromes-and-other-early-color-photos.html) in 1903 that used dyed potato starch sandwiched between glass panes. Some of the images were recolored based on their original colors.
