Last week, the Ghosts of DC blog posted a picture I’d not seen before — a baseball game or practice, at Georgetown University circa 1900<\/a>, outside of Healy Hall and Old North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article had a link to the original photo in Georgetown’s archives<\/a>. and after downloading the photo I decided I’d take a crack at colorizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, I’m not very far advanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve put in maybe an hour and a half into this. I’ve clipped the sky (so I can replace it with a real sky that I’ll blur and fade in) and done a lot of grass that is known as Copley Lawn. (It’s too<\/em> green now, and I’ll eventually have to adjust the colors to make it look more natural.) I haven’t decided if the basepaths are tamped down grass or actually dirt. (I’m thinking the former, to be frank.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I even began some work on Old North, downloading a reference photo so I can match the colors of the brick and the roof as best I can. Healy Hall — it’s the building that greets you on Georgetown’s website<\/a> — on the left will be a challenge. As for that little building, I’ve no idea as it doesn’t seem to exist any longer, so I’ll probably make it brown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some interesting details I’ve noticed, like home plate isn’t its familiar five-sided shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll work on this as time permits. My colorization of Washington’s Swampoodle Grounds<\/a> took about two weeks, and then I’ve revisited it from time to time. There’s no hurry to finish. It’s just for fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
