About Colorizing of Old Photos of Janusz Korczak and his children.

I have been against the colorizing of old photos of Janusz Korczak and his children for many years. I just felt that they should stay in the way the photographer took them.
However, when I found several details in the photos that in earlier never recognized, I actually changed my opinion.

As far as I know, there is actually only one color photo of the group of children at Korczaks summer camp Rózyczka at Goclawek. I do not know the technique of this particular photo.

What I enjoy is that orphanage children look happy in all black and white and also in recently colored photos, thanks to Janusz Korczak.
