In 1896, the Lumière brothers captured this fascinating scene: a diver emerging from the water in a heavy suit, while two men tirelessly pump air to keep him alive. At the time, divers depended entirely on hand-powered pumps — if the men stopped, the diver would run out of air. 🎨 Restored & colorized by Vibrant History #historicalfootage #colorized #history #france #divers #lumière | DeepSea Locker
