LCCN Permalink lccn.loc.gov/2003675481 Additional Metadata Formats MARCXML Record MODS Record Dublin Core Record Rights Advisory Library of Congress No known restrictions: works published or registered in the U.S. before 1923 are now in the public domain. Explanation: According to the Copyright Act of 1976, works registered for copyright or published with a copyright notice were protected for a maximum of 75 years of copyright protection, assuming the copyrights on the works were renewed (28 years first term plus 47 for the second, if renewed). Public Law 105-298 enacted in October 1998 increased the maximum to 95 years [28 years first term and 67 for the second, if renewed]. Before 1998 the longest amount of time a work could be protected was 75 years, so works before 1923 were no longer protected (1998 minus 75 years equals 1923). When the law changed, the 1923 date was �frozen� and will remain so until 2018 [2018 minus 95 equals 1923]. Starting in 2018 the date that works are no longer protected will again change yearly, being calculated as the current year minus 95 years.

And ryzst read my mind, the image has the makings of a Vermeer painting ... or maybe Norman Rockwell.
Your colorization, with the added difficulty of glasses and shading on the face from the headscarf and the the myriad of wrinkles and creases on the face, clothing, even the fruit, is exceptional and accomplished!
If I had to make a critique, I would like to see the apples slightly redder, with less of the brown overtone (though that might be an effect of the black and white bleeding through beneath the colorization?). With their current color, the apples resemble potatoes. (Though potatoes would work just as well for this striking image.)
An excellent presentation of your immense talent and taste!
Beautiful colorization Rob

The school I went to was founded on the grounds of the main Shaker settlement in the U.S. and we used many of the buildings and some of the teachings were incorporated into our school traditions and outlook. With that background, I'm almost always interested when I see something referencing the Shakers come up. In particular this image is a good perspective of the "Hands to Work, Hearts to God" mindset, and the coloring that you did emphasizes the industry and simplicity of color and decoration that the Shakers used as part of streamlining their aesthetics.
+favs for me.
And..
But, of course.. thank you for sharing this one with us, Rob.
