These photos are amazing. The color brings the people and the era to life in a way B&W doesn’t.
To: Renfield
I wonder if anyone has noticed the change in Lee from pictures taken early in the war or pre-war and ones taken late in the war or after it.
He appears to have aged 30 years in 4 years.

I’m taking the minority view here that while the intent is admirable, even respectful, I don’t see what is truly gained by this colorizing. This first one is not bad, showing a sole figure at the front door. An Officer of the Military. The next one, showing the young actor rumored to have conspired with Boothe, is less impressive, with the Zip-A-Tone flesh hue reminding me of Andy Warhol portrait pieces.

Did they enhance the wrong colors? Heh

I enjoy seeing the background and clothing colorization but somehow feel more connected to the b/w of the people.

I have two ancestors who were both colonels in the Virginia Militia. One of them was with Lee when he surrendered at Appomatox, and rode home from the surrender on Lee’s horse.

That kid looks familiar. Hit by a cannonball. Well, I hope he never knew what hit him.
Amazing work.

The “figure at the front door” is General Robert E. Lee.
To: Renfield
He was, if I recall correctly, and actor, as was Booth. Powell looks like an actor, doesn't he? He looks like an actor from a modern soap opera.
Agreed. Powell has a 1980's era actor look about him although if I had to date the pic without any knowledge, I'd place it from 1980 to 2013.
