You may have noticed the beautiful colorized portraits of old baseball players on the baseballlibrary.com web-site. Here is where they come from:

The work is really amazing.

He has a few 19th century players (John Dreker take note - there is a portrait of your hero, Larry Corcoran!), some of which appear to be the same poses that are on Old Judge cards.

Around 1989 or 1990 they did a colorized version of a lot of the famous Conlon photos that are absolutely remarkable. The only ones I still have are the Lajoie picture used for his t3 and a fantasy piece where Nolan Ryan was added into a picture with Walter Johnson.
