I just acquired a couple old, old portraits of my ancestors. I "think" they are what is/was called hand-tinted or hand-colored portraits. I assume there is a b/w photograph underneath and color was added.
Does anyone know when this method became popular? How long did it last? Is there a site devoted to the history of early photgraphy?
thanks
