Title: Alfred Brandon (1816-1917) - some colour please
Post by: Avondale16 on Tuesday 17 April 18 10:22 BST (UK)
Alfred is not a family member but was a major influence on the life of my 2 x great grandfather, Joseph Stevens. Here he is pictured outside his Chapel in London - I'm hoping someone will perform a little clean up and/or add some colour.

This has got to be up there as one of my favourite colourisations that you have done for me Rami - great choice of colours for his clothes & I love the way you have picked out the wallflowers in the background.

Thank you & straight into the album

Love ALL of the coloured ones. Pablo I especially like the first one you did.
I also love the wheelchair - it looks very comfortable.

He was an interesting man - crippled in both legs from the age 1 but lived until he was 101. He started a baptist chapel in Chelsea & was still at the pulpit aged 95.

Hail to the gent for not letting his disability affected him and lived life to the full and a hard worker by the sound of it too. Thanks for sharing his story. :)
