early colour photography

Although Prince Bertie, later Edward VII was pretty dapper when younger, this is a shot from 1870. Handtinted?
-
Actually he did – the trend of most depictions of any royal is make them younger, but here’s an early colour shot from a few years before he died – he’s mostly white
Amazing Edward VI colour litho – must be very late hence the white beard, who said history was dull?
Is Edward VII and the one who colored this made it awfully since he never had a white beard like that

Both Steichen and Steiglitz are influences of mine, although sometimes surreal books of Paul Nash are probably closer.
