Break my heart:
Original Photograph by Toni Frissell
Colorized by HansLucifer | valdigtmycketfarg.wordpress.com

“I was told he had come back from playing and found his house a shambles—his mother, father and brother dead under the rubble…he was looking up at the sky, his face an expression of both confusion and defiance. The defiance made him look like a young Winston Churchill. This photograph was used by IBM to publicize a show in London. The boy grew up to become a truck driver after the war, and walking past the IBM offices, he recognized his picture.” – Toni Frissell

I don't think that the negative pics should be colourized. black and white helps to keep the darkness of the situation.

The world's first colour photograph. It was taken in 1855 by British theoretical physicist James Clerk Maxwell and is of a tartan ribbon. This is a genuine colour photo and not a black and white one which has been coloured in.
