Café de la Paix situated on Boulevard des Capucines in 1935. PARIS, FRANCE: COLOURISED photographs bring PARIS? long and vibrant history to life. One dramatic image featured a derailed train as it hurtled out of a large glass window at Montparnasse railway station on October 22, 1895, after the driver approached the station too quickly to make up for earlier delays. In another, smartly-clad diners lined the pavements of the Boulevard des Capucines as they enjoyed a meal at the Café de la Paix ? a famed restaurant located in the city?s ninth arrondissement which once served King Edward VII. Other images captured the Statue of Liberty under construction in Paris in 1884 ? a gift from France to the United States - and American military police on duty along the Place de la Concorde in 1919 following the end of the war and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Colouriser Jean-Marie Gillet (39) from Saclay in the suburbs of Paris, France, brought the stunning images to life after getting into colourisation when he transformed a selection of family photos several years ago. Jean-Marie spends several hours transforming each image using Photoshop and a tablet and stylus. mediadrumworld.com / Jean-Marie Gillet
