## Caption

World War I is not exactly known for color photography. When the war broke out in 1914, #photography was still in its toddlerhood — equipment was bulky and slow — but a few vanguard photographers were, in fact, working in color during the Great War. Rare color photos, like the one seen here of a young child seated with a doll on a soldier’s rucksack in 1917 France, show the war in a different light. Visit the link in our bio for a more colorful glimpse into life behind the lines and at the front of #WWI.
