    And the picture from 1991 is in black and white?

    GTFO

    Edit: seems I was wrong in my assumptions

      It’s obviously scanned from a newspaper. Not everything is a conspiracy…

      Edit: Found another picture:

      They still had newspapers in the 90s. And some pictures you can only find on old newspaper micro film. So they’re in black and white. Even color printed newspapers would catalog their back issues in black and white.

        Why? It’s not expensive to set one copy aside and keep 365 of them a year into some cold dry storage, right?

        Almost everyone was shooting on film in 1991, as digital cameras were usualy NTSC resolution or 1024p and very expensive. And B/W film was always cheaper than color but both were quite affordable by the 1990s.
