Rare color photos of World War I

Orlov learned that the photographer was John Wells Rahill, a pastor who graduated from Yale University in 1906. Rahill used a Kodak Jr. #1 roll film camera to capture the images. When he returned from his trip through Europe, China and Japan, he had his best images converted into "Magic Lantern" slides, a type of image that is hand painted and can be projected.
