This is a tinted photo, my Mother has one similar to this from the late 1940’s. Just a little bit of color makes a big difference. This photo has no markings.
I was given a tinting kit when I was young but I never understood how to use it. My grandfather was so sweet, but an engineer, and so everything was practical for him. I wasn't practical and our photographs were color, so it didn't make sense to me to tint them. I was too young. Sadly, I have no idea now what happened to the tinting kit. Now that I understand it, I'd love to have it!
I am suppose to get a copy of a tinted photo of my Grandmother done in the 40's. I am hope it is color when I get it but I bet it will be a black and white copy. I have one tinted copy of my brothers when they were young that I have never share. It is unusual.
My brother's graduation portrait (1955) was also color tinted. It had such soft colors and looked like a painting.
ReplyDeleteLove your header, it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom and Dad, had a hand tinted wedding photo. I was always fascinated by it when I was young.
Maybe that's a reason for my love of photography.

Love this treatment on photos.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me so of my dad's army picture.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been something... the day when the world turned color...
