BW pictures colorized in book
While this has nothing to do with Lincoln, I would like to get some reactions to something I saw that really bothers me. There is a new biography of Woodrow Wilson by Christopher Cox called "Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn." In the section of pictures, every photograph has been artificially colorized. Pictures of people like Charles Sumner that existed long before color photography was even possible. This really bothers me. I have no idea why it was even done, but it's dishonest, at least in my mind. The average person likely wouldn't care, but to me it is representing something that never existed and is historically false, not just inaccurate, but a historical lie. Am I overreacting?
Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
