This is an original period image from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and other quality sources restored and tinted by the internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. This is an exclusive listing of his work on ebay.
Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken.
You have your choice of size and finish for the photo. Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. Unless requested when placing your order, your image may be cropped. If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in.

General Robert E. Lee, C.S.A.
Commander of Confederate Forces, Retired
Robert E. Lee was perhaps the best military mind on either side. At one time, offered command of the Union Army, he turned it down to support his state. This image was taken shortly after the war (exact date unknown) and shows the General in civilian attire.
After the war Lee accepted the job of President of Washington College (now Washington-Lee University) and passed away in 1870. It is most likely that these images were taken in that five year period.
