In the time before television, radio and even movies, entertainment could be as simple as a few lines from a friend scribbled on a postcard in your mailbox. Many were like this one: A black and white photographic print that subsequently was colorized by a multi-step process in which the card was sent through a series of printers. Each pass applied one of the several colors that together resulted in the finished composite seen below. Because the persons creating and applying these colors had a poor - or even no knowledge of the original scenes at all - the colors represented aren't always reliable. Note for example the crudely drawn red candy-striping on the near awnings that are missing from those in the distance.
