Your color job brings more life to the scene, nicely done.
Btw, where do you find all these old newspapers in such good condition? It's pretty fascinating to see what used to be so common.

Thank you. I had found a big box of old newspapers at a yardsale a couple of years ago for 20 bucks, and all the newspapers were compiled into different subjects about world war 1 , world war 2, and many other subjects. The newspaper clipping above was from a Charles Dickens Story that printed one chapter a week for sixteen weeks. The lady I bought them from, said, her grandfather was a history buff, and saved anything about current events at the time. I got newspaper from the 1920's upto JFK's assisnation. And I agree, it is very fasinating to go through these old papers. In a sense they are lost treasures, and the artwork that adorned theses old newspaper is stunning.
Wow, finding that is like finding a buried treasure. What a steal! In a way, re-purposing them into art is like giving them a new lease on life for people of today to appreciate. Forty years is a lot of papers! I'm surprised she sold them instead of donating to a library or similar interest. You bought a rare collection, lucky you : )
