The announcement of the publication of "Color of Lincoln" corresponds with the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission inaugural being held in Hodgenville Kentucky.
Mr. Eaton has been active in supporting the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission Inaugural Event occurring Mon and Tuesday February 11 & 12, 2008 in Louisville, KY and Hodgenville, KY. As part of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission's fundraising efforts, it will feature a unique one-of-a-kind inaugural t-shirt that will commemorate the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The shirt is a limited edition printing featuring two colorized photographs of Abraham Lincoln from the upcoming book, "Color of Lincoln".
Taking over three years to accomplish the digitization of the photos, co-author Bryan Eaton says, "These are very high quality colorizations of Abraham Lincoln images and his contemporaries. Since a small proportion of the photos still survive as originals, the best digital technology has been used to bring these photos to life.
The goal of the "Color of Lincoln" is to present a new perspective of Abraham Lincoln visually as well as from the historical and anecdotal descriptions of Mr. Lincoln.

"Since the photos are a significant modification to the library of Lincoln photos and give a more realistic vision of the man, I feel that it is likely that future images of Lincoln will include the digital color images in conjunction with the black and white historical photos." said Mr. Eaton.There will be a premier publication edition of the "Color of Lincoln" book which is currently available as a pre-order on the book website at http://www.coloroflincoln.com.
A supporting video documentary is in pre-production. Both projects will be released in 2008 in correspondence to the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial year 2008-2009.
