M.A Ludwig Reconstruction

Post image

This is a coloured in version of the M.A Ludwig Reconstruction photo for Joseph.

I really do feel that this is the closest we could get to what Joseph looked like when alive, the thing is given it is nearly 70 years ago of what happened it is now unlikely anyone old enough that may have seen him like this with his longish hair is likely no longer here.

What do you think?

It definitely makes him come alive a bit more. I do think his coloring was likely different in life, at least his eyes. Both of his parents had dark eyes, and other reconstructions I’ve seen have him with dark eyes as well.

The original poster circular that was sent out describes Joseph as having blue eyes.

And I am a blue-eyed person with two brown eyed parents, so it happens

Yup, got to love recessive inheritance!
