Beauties of Yesteryear Lynn Ellen Thomas

This is a lovely collection of 56 photographs of mostly actresses from the late 1800's and early 1900's. Some. you may recognize. These are from promotions for movies and their work, that fell into the public domain. Names such as Lily Elsie, Maude Fealy, Gabrielle Ray, Justine Johnstone, Evelyn Nesbitt, Nina Barkis, Billie Burke, Esther Ralston and many others are included in this collection. I edited these to modernize them so that the grayscales are smoother, and without as much grain. These are such lovely images that you can end up with a beautiful painterly looking image at the end. For the grayscale colorist, who loves to color vintage images. Normally, I include color previews from the photographs in my books...but these were originally black and white or sepia colored postcards, so there are no colored images available. So use your imagination, and enjoy!
