Oh my Rivernan...you sure you want to do this? I have lots of
B & W's. I love them. I have been working on my family history so I am collecting any that I can find. I promise to only show a few....


Looks like beauty runs in the family.


Thank you very much Emmett....Everyone says I look just like my father. My son looks just like him, at least I think so.

well of course...I said so and I meant it. Use good reason...The quality of the top two dont lend themselves to good screen transfer. Maybe in another post someone could help you with the restoration???? Your father looks like he was handsome and deserves to be shown in that light. The picture of your maternal grandmother in that rocker is great and the one of your great grandparents in the frame is cool. Post more if you want but be selective and leave room for others. AND DONT FORGET TO GET UP FROM THAT COMPUTER EVERY HOUR AND STRETCH.

Thank you Rivernan....and I promise to get up every hour and stretch from now on! :)

[quote=patie01]Jackie, do you know what the 'tint' is that was so frequently used on portraits during this period? My mother says she was trained in a photographer's studio to do that kind of tinting but never went into detail about what it was.

To make their images permanent, and prepare the photo for "coloring" they had to Sepia Tone them after the final chemical step in developing. The would also sometimes Selinium Tone, or Gold Tone for similar reasons.
Now, I don't want anyone thinking I'm old, just because I know this!

Patie....Hand-colouring (or hand-coloring) refers to any method of manually adding colour to a black-and-white photograph, generally either to heighten the realism of the photograph or for artistic purposes.[1] Hand-colouring is also known as hand painting or overpainting.

Typically, watercolours, oils, crayons or pastels, and other paints or dyes are applied to the image surface using brushes, fingers, cotton swabs or airbrushes. Hand-coloured photographs were most popular in the mid- to late-19th century before the invention of colour photography and some firms specialized in producing hand-coloured photographs.

What a great thread with all these old black and whites. Color is wonderful but there's just something about black and white, kind of makes you use your imagination for the colors I guess. I have to throw a few in too!
