Hand-colored

So, uh, not colored other than a few splashes? The photo is interesting and worthwhile, don't get me wrong, but at this point you might as well not bother with the coloration.

This kind of hand-coloring, with only the most notable bits given color, pops up from time-to-time in 19th century photos. Note this Civil War photo with the gold colored in
