Another of my ancient family photos which could do with a clean- up, please. It was taken before he left Liverpool for Melbourne on the "Ben Nevis" at the age of 18.

Hi Mem
Here's a play from me.

1852, wow...a tintype? A paper copy of a tintype? 1852 is too early for a glass ambrotype...wow.
If it's a tintype the image will be reversed, left-to-right. Hopefully Prue will be along to see this, and if she doesn't I'll PM her...
You have some fabulous photos.
Cheers,

This is a scan of the original Daguerreotype which is held by another cousin in Aussie. On the back is written :-
William Cleghorn 20.8.1852 Left home on 18 Sept.
The family lived in Tynecastle, Edinburgh.
