Colour of Time by Brazilian artist
Marina Amaral and British
historian Dan Jones offers a
unique perspective on the past.
Amaral has breathed full-color

Jones gives each image context
with a narrative that also
connects it to today’s world.

empires, the achievements of
science, industry and the arts,
the tragedies of war and the
politics of peace, it’s a history
lesson worth paying attention to.A Colorful History
