The year is 1956. The King of Rock & Roll is riding a bicycle around the Paramount back lot in Hollywood, greeting fans along the way. This is a very relaxed moment for Elvis – a chance to just be the fun-loving Memphis boy from 1034 Audubon Drive.

The year is 1914. Rural mail delivery by horse a buggy. This was how the mail was delivered in much of America 100 years ago. The original image was shot by prominent Washington, DC photographers, George Harris and Martha Ewing. The likelihood is this photo was taken in rural Virginia or Maryland.

Here is a dedicated mail carrier who lives up to the unofficial motto of the U.S. Post Office: “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds”.

The History Channel documentary, “Blood & Glory- The Civil War In Color is PREMIERING TONIGHT – and American Photo Colorizing is a part of it!

History Channel Black Logo 1

We’re very excited to be on the team that created colorized pictures for the first ever Civil War documentary to feature a wide selection of photos. This is going to change the way we look at History – especially the young people, who never grew up with Black & White.

Back on July 4th, 2002, American Photo Colorizing kicked off what has become a genre – Historic Photo Colorizing. We’ve waited 13 years for this moment – and to have our colorizing work included just blows us away.

Tonight, Part 2 of “Blood & Glory – The Civil War In Color” airs – and we at American Photo Colorizing are thrilled to be part of it! Check your local cable provider for air times. Then gather the family around the TV for this exciting History Channel presentation.

Now, here’s a Civil War “Before & After” to hold you all until show time. The year is 1865 – and this Confederate locomotive sits amidst the ruins of Richmond, Virginia. A lot of time was invested in color-rendering the damage to the locomotive itself
