National Portrait Gallery: Celebrities in Full Color

The National Portrait Gallery has a new exhibit of images of celebrities we are used to seeing in B&W now being shown in color.  And ooh what color!  Take a look at Lucille Ball:

I can't get over Lucy's red hair.  We only had a B&W tv when we watched her shows as a kid (even her color shows.)  I always knew her hair was red, but wow, seeing it in color is fantastic.

Here's a link to the NPG: http://www.npg.si.edu/exhibit/exhwarnecke.html.  And here's a link to a beautiful Salon portrait gallery of more fantastic images from this show: http://www.salon.com/2012/02/25/celebrity_portraits_from_new_yorks_first_tabloid/slide_show/.  My preservation of photographs instructor, Gawain Weaver, loved this process.  Here is a link to the Image Permanence Institute's ID page on tri-color carbro: http://www.graphicsatlas.org/guidedtour/?process_id=82#prev.
