The Civil War in Color – 28 Stunning Colorized Photos That Bring American Civil War Alives as Never Seen Before: The Civil War comes alive as never before in this extraordinary collection of colorized photographs from the era. Not only does it feature portraits of famous leaders and ordinary soldiers but also vignettes of American life during the conflict: scenes from urban and plantation life; destroyed cities; contested battlefields. Here, TIME commissioned Sanna Dullaway, a photo editor based in Sweden, to colorize some of the most iconic images of the Civil War. The end result, which can take up to three hours to achieve per picture, offers a novel and contemporary perspective to history. 1. Allan Pinkerton, President Lincoln, and Maj. Gen. John A.
