The year is 1849. It’s Day 2 of Trending History’s Adventures in Halloweenland & Other Spooky Stuff. Here’s legendary Balitimore citizen, and writer of chiller-thrillers, Edgar Allan Poe. Quoth the Raven, “Squarrrrkkk!” – which means “Silly ol’ Poe. Ravens can’t talk!” For Halloween, we’ve added a dash of color and spooky fog to Edgar, as is fitting.

The year is 1890. We’re gearing up for Tending History’s Adventures in Halloweenland & Other Spooky Stuff, with a spooky Gay ’90s photo of a bicyclist who has been rattling around just a little too long. You’ve gotta give kudos to the warped 19th century mind that thought this shot up. The top hat offers a touch of class – but, apparently, pants were optional. A bit o’ color by American Photo Colorizing almost makes this creaky ol’ boy spring to life. Boo!

The year is 1850. Somebody’s Granny poses for a portrait with her knitting 163 years ago. The quality of the original daguerreotype is exceptional for the pre-Civil War-era. We’re looking into the eyes of an elderly woman who was very likely born around the time of the American Revolution. Her first president would have been George Washington – and she doesn’t appear to have a tooth in her mouth. “The better to gum you with, my dears”.

Now, here’s the “kicker”. Not only have we colorized “Granny” – but we’ve brought her back to life . . . sort of. Activate your Audio, then Click-tivate the Video below.

The year is 1939. Yesterday, we featured a photo of a “Sharp Dressed Man”, by New York City street photographer, Helen Levitt. Today’s feature is by another female shutterbug, Farm Security Administration (FSA) photographer, Marion Post Wolcott. Marion spent the winter of 1939-40 in the snowy New England village of Woodstock, Vermont. Woodstock in the 1930s was a sleepy little farming community.

Today, it is a very popular ski resort. In 1934 the first ski tow in America was built at Woodstock – and winter tourism in the area boomed overnight. Today, the village looks remarkably like the one Marion Post Wolcott visited in 1939.

The year is 1955. With the 2013 MLB World Series set to start next week – I’m snagging another opportunity to showcase a classic colorized Baseball moment. On the mound is New York Yankees hurler, Don Larsen pitching his way into the record books with his famous Perfect Game in the 1955 World Series. In 9 innings, not one Brooklyn Dodger got on base. It was an amazing feat for Larsen.

And it was an unforgettable World Series (I watched on TV from my crib) . . . Larsen pitched his perfect game, Duke Snider cracked 4 home runs, Jackie Robinson stole home, the Bums won it in 7 games, and the borough of Brooklyn went crazy. So, let’s go back to 1955. That’s practically current events to us. I’ve chosen to display the World Series moment – as a baseball card, loosely-styled after the 1956 Topps card series.

SMALL TOWN AMERICA (1895)

The year is 1895. This is Corydon, Indiana – small town America at it’s finest. When I sit down to colorize an antique or vintage photo, I never know for sure how it will turn out. The finished image could look like a modern color photograph, an illustration, a painting
. . . or anywhere in between.

Due to the faded nature of this Gay ’90s photo, I’d already expected that it would not look “photo real”. However, I was not expecting it to yield such an artsy treasure. It has become one of my favorite illustration/painting-styled images. I hope you enjoy it, too.

GIRLS BASKETBALL (1902)

The year is 1902. The game of Basketball is just about a decade old, and since it was invented in New England, not far from Smith College, the girls of Smith are among the choice few teams playing the sport in 1902. Don’t they look just too cute in their turn of the 20th century uniforms? Originally, the “basket” in basketball was often a peach or apple basket.
