This is the second photo I've colorized, also of the Atlantic City boardwalk in 1905. The original is here. I've cropped the picture for display on my monitor, so the dimensions aren't identical. I did some reading up on some of the elements of the picture. The colors I used for the Steeplechase building itself are more or less historically accurate, based on some color(ed) postcards from the era. The colors on the other side of the boardwalk are less definite - my source postcards just show a lot of yellow over there, but without much definition. Saratoga, Excelsior, and Quevic are all types of mineral water. View full size.
