Handcolor Your Prints
A Venerable Craft That Is Still Going Strong
From the mid-1950s to the
mid-1980s, handcoloring was associated mainly with the days before color
film. But it has never really gone away. Handcoloring is far from new:
handcolored daguerreotypes survive, as do tintypes. Long after color
processes appeared in the first decade of the 20th century (Lumiere
Autochrome), handcoloring remained the cheapest and easiest way to get
a colored print. Then, as color films and color printing became more
affordable, handcoloring languished; as eventually did black and white
photography. Not until the 1980s did black and white photography become
fashionable again, and so in due course did handcoloring. |
