Higgins Hand Tinted Photograph

Hand tinting black and white photographs became a popular technique in the late 1800's, bringing an otherwise monochromatic image to life. Charles Higgins (1867-1930) was known for photographing rural New England landscapes and cottages. This antique beauty places the viewer strolling home along the dirt road, soaking in the serenity of a cottage awaiting, surrounded by bucolic plantings and the shade of mature trees.
