Color Scan of Civil War Pension and Fold3 Image
I've been wanting to compare some color images for National Archives materials with the grayscale digital scans on Fold3. At long last, here's our first from a Civil War pension. The color image was discussed earlier today in a blog post. Clicking on the images will pull up a larger version of the image. I didn't want to overwhelm this blog post with large images.

I think both are legible but I think your color scan is clearer and cleaner. Plus I love seeing the color of paper in the old documents.
ReplyDeleteI like the color scan and think it is more legible. But both are doable.
