"Barga, Italy" Photograph

Scope and content:

One photograph from Barga, Italy, hand-colored by Dan Kehlenbach, Williamsburg community member.

Kehlenbach provided the following description with this submission: "In high school photography class I experimented with hand-coloring black and white images and I thought this would be the perfect time to get back into this. In the late 1800s and early 1900s before the advent of stable color films, artists would manually add color to black and white photographs to enhance its realism or to express a specific creative vision. For this project, I have been printing my images in warm-toned black and white and use pastels and pastel pencils to give the image some color to produce a vintage effect. Attached are four images...the fourth image I did as a gift to a friend. This is an image of her house that she grew up in (Barga, Italy)."
