Very awesome! Funny how most characters would be labeled as 'hipster' nowadays.

And Charlie Chaplin looks like such a cutiepie!
Those are the best hand-tinted photos I've seen! I wish I knew who did them to find out their method.

Looks like they came from this page http://www.reddit.com/r/ColorizedHistory/

The one of Audrey Hepburn is HOT..women look a lot sexier when there is more left for the imagination. And the one of Mark Twain is crystal clear
Walt Whitman, first thing I thought was gandalf haha. Darwin always looks like such a sower-puss, not surprising given his dilemmas I guess hehe.
