A collection of 200 stunning retouched photographs appear in the book Our Land in Colour - depicting life and culture from span1860 to 1960. The hardback pays homage to the rich and diverse history of the country and initially the photographs were shot in black and white. Colourist Brendan Graham talks about what's involved in recolouring history. The narrative of the book has been penned by historian Jock Phillips.
