In my post this morning, I made a comparison between the colouring of the Danish 1954 edition of the Barks classic “Vacation Time” and that of Egmont’s recently released version. I unfortunately didn’t have the scans of the same panels from both editions. I do now, and here they are for your perusal:

I refer you to the above-mentioned article for analysis. Thanks again to the Bunker’s scanmasters in Denmark!
