Custom coloring

True to the originals, our set of Bodmer giclée prints are produced in black and white.

However, these giclée prints are hand-colored in period color palettes by Jane Niebling.

Part of the charm of hand coloring is that each print will be worked on individualy. While two prints may have the same overal appearance, the fine detail and brush work will, upon close inspection, be found to show small differences.

In effect, each hand-colored print will become a new original.
