Can they print color photos in 1918? I mean in a magazine. Would such a thing
be cost effective back then? The cover, most like. I dunno.

hmm, dear Cin,. . . one caveat to your caveat. . . ink is the least of
the expense savers. After 25 years printing letterpress, I know
coverage must be thin, because overinking blobs up the result. I'd be
far more concerned about color changes due to acid paper than ink
coverage.
Not sure
In a cautionary note, what is currently seen printed in vintage mags
is often not representative of the actual colors. There are many
reasons for this, including the following:
Some color variance is due to limits of the then-available ink
technology and print processes. Even to the 1990s printin
Also, somber colors were the norm to wear during WWI. With so many people
losing friends and loved ones, bright colors were not always appropriate.

Try Eaton's of Canada's 1917 Summer Spring catalog on Archive.org, and do a
search for wash dresses, or dresses or cotton. There are some color pictures,
and they had sizes and styles for ladies of all ages.

I'm looking for color images of summer cotton frocks, 1917-1918, to get a
feel for colors and prints (if any), particularly for women past 40. I've
been looking through newspapers, so I've got ideas on silhouette, but they
don't help much on the other. Any suggestions?
