Description
Colorized photo from 1900
Original Title: Mulberry St., New York, NY
Location: Mulberry St, looking toward Canal St
This was my most complicated colorization so far. It reminded me of a movie set, each area tells a story. One group see's the camera and they all stop to get in the shot. Meanwhile school kids are let out, one of them drinks a beer, a guy in the back picks his nose, while on the other side, a guy is tossing apple cores for distance or accuracy.
In the way back near the yellow awnings there is a truck with stacks of chairs weaved together, and there were a number of potted flowers on the sills. This image was made by Detroit Publishing, and it was in their main catalog. Their own version of this was cropped tighter but it had a lot of detail color wise. I did not however use most of their colors.
Instead I choose bright color combinations. I wanted everything to be punchy. Due to the busy nature of this shot, I used colors to drag the eye to the yellow awning, then to the bunch in the front, followed by other placements of bright color.
Partly what I liked about this was the lack of the bowler hat. Everyone had their own version, along with that bushy mustache.
