You got me curious.. I found

Could this be what you were referring to? If so, it looks like 1855 through
about early 1900's, but scatterd use until even today! Never seen one, I'll
have to keep looking!

Wikipedia suggests hand colouring was done from the 1840s to mid 1950s but
after 1920 it was less popular.

I have a wall-sized portrait where the hair has been
charcoaled in. The woman died in either 1899 or 1885, and I
was hoping the date of popularity would help pick one.
[For clarity: the woman is the wife-of; he had two wives of
the same first name, one died in 1885, one in 1899; I'd sort

I've got a pair of framed sepia-toned portraits of (non-direct) relatives
that have the fine detail of photographs, but also have an airbrushed
charcoal-retouched appearance. They are large 16" x 20" and are on heavy
cardboard. Father (1825-1886) and son (1850 - ), their apparent ages in
the portraits would suggest a time period in the 1870's (the son was married
in 1874), but of course any enhancement work could have been done well after
that. The current owner of the original house in Maine in which they lived
found the two portraits in the attic and gave them to me.

At one time they were in massive frames, but I can't
