Is This A Colorised Photo?

I'm wondering what the best way to describe this image would be. Colorised photograph?

Thanks for looking!

I believe this would most commonly be called a "hand-colored" or "hand-tinted" photograph.

Thanks!

The problem - and I have asked people who have forgotten more about postcards than I will ever know - is the meaning of the word "hand".

Some cards were colored one-by-one by hand, in the sense that some guy (most often a one-armed WW1 vet) would swipe a brush over the card.

Some cards were colored by once/more runs thru a press, each time adding some tint here or there.

Now go tell these apart.

I have yet to meet anyone who thinks that publishers were especially careful in their use of terms like "hand-colored" to mean only one of these, or that it is always easy/possible to distinguish one process for another if you only have one copy of that card at-hand.

Even a consistent color shift - eg, the orangey color that was meant to suggest light streaming out of windows on a building - means little, as the one-by-one guy could/would have been using a mask.

Only if you have two of the same card/photo next to each-other.

Wow, saw Sydney and thought WOW. But then saw RushGutter'sBay and realized it was Sydney Australia, not Sydney Nova Scotia.
