Comment on Abraham Lincoln in Color (1865) by LoyaltyOfDogs.com (@loyaltyofdogs)

For me, this remarkable color photo has an effect much like that of a fine, black and white, modern portrait of a person I know or have seen only in color photos. Such portraits capture our interest by providing a new and different look at a face we think we know, but have never before seen in this way. So we look more closely than before, for overlooked features or nuances of expression we might have missed. This colorized portrait of Lincoln is powerful in its ability to draw the viewer in to look, yet again and more closely, at a face we know, but, at the same time, have never seen before. It emphasizes Lincoln’s humanity in a startlingly new and arresting way.

This is neat and before my time. However my friend, who died at 82 this summer, told me stories of a beach at the Tidal Basin. I had trouble believing him…in that dirty water??..His mother was the Life Guard there and apparently it was a hot spot to go back then. He was born in 1929 I think. Look at the two ring enter-tube (spelling?) on one of the girls, the bathing caps and of course the bathing suits. No Skinny Minnies there either..thin was not in..lol Looks like sand was there, thus the beach title.
