Hard work pays off!!! I have been searching for a photo of John and Cynthia for 10+ years!!!! Happy Dance!!! Everyone say hello to my great great grandparents <3 lol 

Answer 1

Congratulations! A fabulous find.

I have a family photo with similar qualities. The photos were retouched using the Photochrom process to add colour.

See: https://timeline.com/vivid-photochrom-color-photographs-244402337629 for a more information on Photochrom.

I imagine it was very expensive in the day, and was used only for special photos.

Thank you!! Also thanks for sharing the website on photochrom! So cool. I would love to play around with restoring old photos same day. I bet you have a fantastic photo!

Its hard to wrap my brain around the idea that both John and Cynthia died over 100 years ago yet I get to see their face.

Thank you for the delightful photograph that you really deserved and thanks for sharing with us. We share the joy and excitement with you,
