Yes it is definitely a black and white, coloured photo. I did add a little bit of contrast to the image in Photoshop so that the words would stand out better. But the colour is there just a tad less vibrant in real life. It's really not in super great shape you can see the corners are worn and there is a crease or two, it's yellowed and looks like it may have had a bit of water get on the back. I'll have to ask my dad where he got it from. But he keeps it in a plastic cover in his collection.
