The year is 1850. A stylish young lass poses for her portrait. As the British would have said, “She’s posh“. A Brooklyn dockworker might have expressed it so eloquently, “That goil is one classy dame”.

To create the colorized portrait, it was necessary to remove the frame from the image and extend the background a bit. This helped bring the focus to the girl’s face. Then color was added. Unlike the layers of color method used by so many amateur and semi-professional colorizers – our color creations are done as if one was painting on canvas – using the mouse as a brush. This gives our photos a unique appearance – with greater color detail and life-likeness than people are used to seeing in Photo Colorizing.
