Yet another in my string of Atlantic City colorizations, this one taken in front of Richard's Baths. The original b&w is here.
I went looking to see if I could find any information about the historical color of Richard's Baths. I found a newsletter which references this very photograph, and mentions that Richard's Baths were a dark maroon color. The purply color I came up with after much experimentation was the best I could approximate it.
The newsletter is available as a pdf file.
This photo only took about ten hours to colorize, which means I'm getting better! View full size.
Colorized version of two photos by George Barnard of the U S Military Railroad depot at Nashville, TN in 1864. Mr. Barnard shot two photos that day from the same position with the second one more to the right of the first view. I combined the two views into one image which gives a wider view of the scene. Then, I colorized it which took about 92 hours of work. The locomotive colors are educated guesses but do represent the colorful railroad equipment of that time. View full size.
