The Civil War in COLOUR for the first time that recreate era in amazing detail

[cancel2 2022]

This picture of Lewis Powell looks like it was taken yesterday



A Danish colourist has combined his skills with photographs with his fascination for the American Civil War to create a remarkable series of colour photographs from the era.

Jordan Lloyd says he's been 'in love' with the American Civil War since he was 12 and his colourised and restored pictures bring history to life in a way no black-and-white photographs can.

With amazing attention to detail, the pictures that Lloyd has skillfully rendered in colour paint a picture of the era and its characters, heroes and villains.
Regard the face of Major General George Armstrong Custer - who was reportedly so enamoured of himself that he would wear his own personalised uniform that displayed the same 'Austrian Knots' that the Confederates used, a bright red cravat, and underneath his shirt, a sailor shirt with his rank stars sewn on, even in the presence of officers of superior rank.
Custer's flamboyance was much noted in his time, and his arrogance may be explained by the fact that he was a fearless leader who was promoted to General at the tender age of 24.
His demise in 1876, which would become known as Custer's Last Stand, was due to the failure of his fellow commanders and not for lack of Custer's courage.

The distinguished gray beard of General Braxton Bragg denotes his age and experience as a commander, but it's difficult to see the humour in his black eyes - though according to reports, he was something of an eccentric.
At one time, he was a company commander and a company quartermaster simultaneously - meaning he had to get permission from himself for certain things. He made a written request as company commander for something he wanted to himself as quartermaster. As quartermaster, he denied himself the request with an official reason in writing. As commander, he argued with himself for his request, but as quartermaster he had ultimate say and denied himself.
Bragg finally went to the post commander for resolution to his odd problem who allegedly said, 'My God, Mr. Bragg, you have quarrelled with every officer in the army, and now you are quarreling with yourself!'

[FUCK THE POLICE]

I've seen the original photograph in black and white on reddit, that was a very modern looking man with a modern looking hair do, it's as simple as that, that's what the discussion on reddit centered around. This Danish artist is really annoying, to add some shitty coloring to the photo and pretend as if he's responsible for the eerily modern look.

He didn't live much longer as he was executed soon after the photo was taken.

[evince]

yes so the emotions you see in his face are very intense huh

Look at his eyes


he is looking into the void of death.

Emotions are what is so compelling about both of the photos in question.

Deep human emotions on the face of young handsome people
