Image: Henry-Presentation of Colors (edit)

Description: Presentation of Colors, 1864 The 20th Regiment United States colored troops formed line at the foot of Twenty Six Street, East River, and marched to Union square. Arriving in front of the Union League Club House at one o'clock. A vast crowd of citizens filled the square, and every door, window, verandah, tree, and house-top that commanded a view of the scene was peopled with spectators. Over the entrance of the Club-house was a large platform ornamented with flags and filled with ladies. In the street was another platform tastefully decorated and occupied by prominent citizens. From the stand the colors were presented by President King of Columbia College. This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Color adjusted. Looking around the internet, the only copies of this painting I could find appeared to be derived from this one, a quite yellowed copy. As other paintings by this author are fairly normally colored, I believe the yellow cast is not part of the original painting. This edit color adjusts the painting to more natural colors. Use with discretion.. The original can be viewed here: Henry-Presentation of Colors.JPG. Modifications made by Jbarta.
