This collage shows perfectly the difference between a not edited/colorized and a (very proper) edited/colorized image, Rob.
On the right image, it's like that the portrait of Mrs. O. P. Sturm is recently taken. Hard to imagine now that in fact it was taken more than a century ago!
The credits for it are for you, my friend!
S+F. Thanks!

Cornelius has made a good point in his comment. The comparison of the two photos here makes me think twice about the effect of black and white and color. I imagine it's not always the same, but gosh, the colorization you have performed has made an enormous difference in this capture. To the point where for me it changes her personality (for the better)! Excellent work.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Nice rework. I do think as I mentioned before how these people have long gone, well 99.99 percent of them, and their grand kids are probably old or passed on.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

The original black & white on the left has all the characteristics of the sharp focus of glass plate negatives of the era, of an elegantly appointed young woman, coiffed and ready for a night in high society... on the right is a flesh and blood actress in a period movie, fully alive and, if attired in modern dress, could be anyone alive today. That's what your colorization does for most of these images you submit, Rob, particularly the portraits.
