Biographical / Historical
Charlotte M. Pinkerton (1879-1966) was an accomplished colorist in the 20th century. In addition to coloring photographs, it is believed that Pinkerton may have also been a photographer. Pinkerton spent her early professional years in Chicago where she received high praise for her high-quality coloring services. She marketed herself to professionals by placing advertisements that cited endorsements from Burton Holmes, the American traveler, photographer, and filmmaker. She worked on coloring Katherine Ertz-Bowden and Charles Bowden's lantern slides in "A Pictorial Story of Hiawatha" which she also leveraged to obtain commissions.
Charlotte Pinkerton married James Blazer in 1914 and moved to California where she resided till her death in 1966.
