What do they mean by hand colored?

fotoviva: These glass lantern slides are black and white transparencies which were colored by hand. More information on how this handcoloring was done can be found under "Lantern Slides" in this essay on Johnston's garden work: www.loc.gov/rr/print/coll/fbjlanterns.html
