Default Could This Photograph be Babe Ruth?

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

I have the original B/W photos my Mother and Father, my Aunt and Uncle, and older Cousins and the enlarged
color-enhancement of them. They were hand colored and mounted in large oval frames such as this picture.
All these color-enhanced pictures are circa 1915-1920.

This process was very popular in the early 20th Century.

Incidently, this color-enhancement always resulted in "rosy-cheeks" and color-shading around prominent facial
features in order to minimize them.
