IN COLOUR THEY LOOK NO DIFFERENT THAN CHEAP HOLLYWOOD COLOURIZED TIN PLATES!

Colouring them, regardless of the amount of time and effort? Does nothing 
but cheapen them dishonouring the original photographer who had to lug all 
the gear around to make the original images.

I don't understand why people today can't just leave the past alone and live 
with what was created under extremely difficult conditions without the help 
of photoshop and all the other electronic cheating equipment of today?

You are sure these aren't the work of a bunch of kindergarten kids in a 
colouring class? colour - schmulour.. it's crap!
