I have used selective colourisation on this photo- but it didn't make much of a difference, so I created another version of this photo using a sepia tone.

Sociologist, suffragette, social worker, philosopher, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams, in 1924 or 1926 (the way the date is written (mirror image, at top of the TIFF version) is probably 3-2-26, but could be 3-2-24. Publisher Bain News Service.
Portrait of Louis Armstrong, Aquarium, New York, N.Y., ca. July 1946. May still need personality release. By William P. Gottlieb.
Edgar Allan Poe 1848. By Samuel W. Hartshorn. The “Whitman” daguerreotype was taken in Providence, Rhode Island in November of 1848 by the studio of Samuel Masury and S. W. Hartshorn. It’s the only known likeness Poe commissioned himself, speculated to be an engagement gift to Sarah Helen Whitman. She likely accompanied him to this sitting. Poe is 39 years old. Wearing his old military frock coat and glaring at us with his piercing stare from a three quarter angle, Poe considered this image the best likeness he ever had.
Harry S. Truman. An official portrait. Since an official portrait, my guess is taken between 1945 to 1953.
No selective colourisation. It just turned out this way. It does look as if the foreground was pasted over the background.

Scene showing deserted camp and wounded Zouave soldier. Circa 1860-65. The Zouave soldier is wearing a Silver Crescent and Star Badge. Can't verify this information: A Union Army soldier stops to give a wounded Zouave a sip of water from his canteen in the ruins of the Union camp at Falmouth , Virginia in early 1863. These men were veterans of the Battle Of Fredericksburg in December of 1862. The ruins are from the previous winter most likely. By Mathew Brady.

Emily Dickinson daguerreotype 1847. Please note that the face has been digitally improved. Not altered. In 1978 the daguerreotype traveled to the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY for conservation treatment. The image was removed from its case, carefully washed, photographed, then re-sealed. This image is a scan of a black and white photograph taken of the daguerreotype when it was unsealed during treatment at the George Eastman House.
