This is from George Wharton Edwards, The Forest of Arden With Some of its Legends, New York, 1914, and by then inks didn’t fade much. But it was the four-colour process, making the pictures harder to reproduce.

I try to have colour pictures on the front page of frooldbooks.org to liven it up a bit, and so visitors see they are not all monochrome!

Scanned with #xsane, then #GIMP3 and #GMIC descreen.
