Quote:(Apologies for this Thread veering from Lincoln ... I wonder what he would have thought of Bill and Ben? dropped off to sleep, maybe)
Mike,
Since it had nothing to do with Lincoln, no need for apologies.
Obviously, we all today live with color in our lives and the lack of it is a shock to our system, but I can't for the life of me think of a book that I've read where the photos were in black and white and took away from what I read. In going through the illustrations I hope to use for my bio of Tarbell, all the photos are in black and white, and I would never even consider colorizing them.
As for what Lincoln would think of Bill and Ben. Don Fehrenbacher was once asked what Lincoln would think of bussing. Without missing a beat, Fehrenbacher said, "the first thing he would say is 'what's a bus?'"
Best
Rob
