It Took Me One Year To Colorize This 1942 Photo

To see all the magazine covers I collected just go to the link below

The final colorized image

Original photo titled: May 1942. “Southington, Connecticut. Where Southington folk buy their magazines.” Photo by Fenno Jacobs, Office of War Information.

To colorize this photo I had to do some true detective work.

In some cases I had only a slither of a word to go on by. Judge for yourself.

Can you tell this one is a shark?
