I Have been working on perfecting converting black and white (gray scale) photographs and engravings. The above is an old Trenton Evening Times photo of the Auto Exhibition Building.
  

I colored this photo which was originally black and white in order gain a more realistic view.

 

Tracy's was a very popular establishment,back in the 40's 50's and early 69's. I hand colored this formerly black and white photo.

I recently learned how to color BLACK & WHITE photographs. Here's an example which was formerly a full page photo of former Trenton Mayors.

 

Fashion Stud Farm

Here's A Currier and Ives engraving which  I hand colored showing a harness racing horse similar  to the one "Goldsmith Maid" had when she became a world champion trotting horse. A memorial tribute to "The Maid" was installed at N.J. State Fair, and is today located at Kuser Park.

19XXH0790 R.C. MAXWELL 1946 ROUTE 25 SOUTH

R.C. Maxwell So. Broad approaching Frizzell's Men Shop

This was a very familiar piece of mail back during WWII. My oldest brother Len Glover was in the 8th Air Force in England and we received these emails regularly, return address "Somewhere in England."

FARMINGDALE SCHOOL

It was so sad to see this old school demolished as it was for the Maple Shade school. The middle of the 20th century marked the demise of maay of these 20th century schools.

WE DIDN'T HAVE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BOATS, OUR PLIED THE DELEWARE!

Remember those great movies where the riverboats sailed up and down the Mississippi River? Remember one of my favorite movies, "Show Boat" with lovely Kathryn Grayson and Howard Keel? Well this is just to inform you the we here in the Trenton area had a showboat of our own! Check out this information from my "NAUTICAL" folder in the Hamilton Township Public Library Local History Collection or my glover320.blogspot.com website.

CATHEDRAL GIRLS BUY A GRUMMAN AVENGER FOR THE WAR EFFORT!

I find this article to be incredibly interesting! Remember, during those dark and scary years of World War II, America was forced to convert hundreds of manufacturing facilities into war material. The fact that these girls raised enough money to acquire this donation to the war effort is unbelievable but true.

1789: GEORGE WASHINGTON AT THE MILL HILL TRIUMPHAN ARCH

1789: George Washington at the Assanpink "Arch." I am having an incredibly wonderful time doing "deep diving" into early Trenton. I put together the vignette combining 3 separate graphics from the Hamilton Library Local History Collection "MILL HILL" folder. Perhaps one of my viewers can explain the strange engraving of the bridge that shows a strange exit from the bridge. It looks like it could be a dirt street.

1904: JACKSON STREET LOOKING NORTH FROM MARKET

How I love these vintage photos! I have a little booklet from 1904 which illustrates a number of Trenton neighborhoods.  This graphic is one of them; a delightful view of the newly re-surfaced street.
