    It's interesting for a look. Puts dimension in the Civil War and past presidents that we've not seen before.

    The quality of the coloration is very well done:

    Interesting.

    I noticed, though, that in all the photos I saw of President Lincoln, he and all the others in the photos all have blue eyes. Coincidence or fact?

    Like old Hampshire, but New
    Great link, thanks!

    The archeologists keep reminding us that all those statues and architecture from the ancient world that we see in bare stone were once brightly painted. We imagine it all in pale marble and gray stone when to ancient people it was bright reds and greens and yellows. This helps with same kind of reminder for early photography.

    Surprising number of people with blue eyes.

    The shot of Lincoln clean shaven is startling.

    Without his beard, Abe Lincoln looks remarkably like Cosmo Kramer.

    Mark Twain and Munjibunga share more appearance characteristics when they're both colorized.

    They'd be nigh on indistinguishable if Twain's shirt was slightly more "colorized."

    I eagerly await the Markibunga photoshops.:D
