Curational comment from "Dawn's Early Light: The First 50 Years of American Photography", October 20, 2011 - May 4, 2012, Hirshland Exhibition Gallery in Carl A. Kroch Library, Cornell University
 
Hand-coloring ranged from lightly tinting cheeks or adding a sparkle to the eye to masterfully applied paints to create portraits virtually indistinguishable from a traditional painting. This lavishly painted photograph portrait demonstrates the merging of the two arts.
