Trapped in black and white, historical figures often seem just that — historical. But colorized portraits remind us that these famous people from the past were real human beings with hopes, fears, and dreams. However, adding color to historical photos is easier said than done.
Helen Keller
When Helen Keller was just 19 months old, she became blind and deaf following a mysterious illness. Her parents enlisted experts to help their daughter learn, and before long, Keller blossomed under their tutelage.
Keller would go on to publish 12 books throughout her life and give lectures in more than 25 countries. To this day, she remains one of the most famous disability rights advocates in history.
