A vinaigrette of historical footage from past years. Issue 110

When we look through the black and white world of photographs, we forget that in real life the color was as bright as it is now. Luckily, thanks to talented artists, we can examine old footage more closely than ever before. For example, a photo of Audrey Hepburn on the set of the 1958 film "The Nun's Story." Yes, there are plenty of color photographs of the iconic actress, but few have captured candid, behind-the-scenes moments like this one.
