Not much is known about this original black and white photo. It comes from the Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums archives. It is a British museum, art gallery, and archive services whose motto is: “We bring you art, history, science, archives...you bring it to life.”
You can find the original photo here. It depicts a family caravan that one commenter on the original photo suggests was taken around 1914 at Jesmond Dene, a public park in north-east England.
It has been beautifully colorized with rich, true to life colors by Okkama Colorizations, now providing services exclusively at The Psychogenealogist.
One detail of particular interest that caught my eye (in addition to the many beautiful ones) is the slightly spooky silhouette of what appears to be a human figure on the horizon at the upper left of the photo.
Is that a person? What stories does he or she have to tell?
Fans of The Psychogenealogist Facebook Page voted for this photo to be colorized in Poll #9. Stay tuned for future polls!
