Film colouriser Stuart Humphryes have used the 🤖 AI photo enhancement program on some old colour autochromes from the Great War (1914-1918). We was stunned by the results, which really bring these characters back to life with a contemporary digital clarity, after more than a century.

During the first World War, a 16-year-old Walt Disney (pioneer of animated cartoon films) left school and attempted to enlist in the army. He was rejected for being underage, but managed to find employment with the Red Cross as an ambulance driver in 1917.
While overseas, Walt Disney found time to develop his artistic skills. He decorated vehicles with cartoons (visible in the photo). At age 19, when Disney was done working for Red Cross in France, he moved back to Kansas City where his brother Roy got him a job as a newspaper artist at Pesmen-Rubin Art Studio.
