I saw this photo of 1924's Miss Philadelphia/Miss America Ruth Malcolmson on Shorpy and just had to see what it looked like colorized. I have to admit that one part of the photo gave me trouble. In the original there was the side of a house with all sorts of little items in the upper right corner. I simply couldn't identify everything to determine what color the items should be so I 'grew' some more bushes up to the brickwork.

Anyway, hope someone enjoys this as much as I did working on it the past 2-3 weeks. View full size.

This is a colorized version of Mary Dixon Palmer: 1920. It looks like this outlandishly dangerous-looking device had a treadle instead of pedals. View full size.

This is a colorized version of Tyke on Trike: 1915. I feel a real connection with this girl. Can you give me her number? I was thinking that maybe, if she's still single, I might give her a call. View full size.
