Title: Can someone help me with this Photograph of my Great Grandparents, please?
Post by: vfrye on Saturday 23 May 15 01:10 BST (UK)
Hi !
There is my grand-grandparents. I never met them but I found this old picture in my grandma stuff.
The picture is a bit deteriorated with time... but they look happy so I kept it. Can someone help me with those little scratches and color, please ? :)

Thank you very very much !

What a lovely photo to have, they do look happy don't they!  I cannot help with restoring your photo (I'm not clever enough  ;D) but I'm sure the talented Rootschat restorers will be able to clean it up for you.

Thank you for your adorable comment !
I don't know them but I think it will be amazing to see them for "real" (with colors and "new" picture) exactly as they were at this time.  :)

I like your photo because it is natural, not a forced pose for a studio photographer.  They are in their own surroundings, relaxed and happy.  I am looking forward to seeing what the restorers can do to enhance it.

Two from me.....when I lightened the bottom of the photo it turns out your g grandmother is holding a knife  :o :P  ;D ;D ;D  (as if she is going to cut a cake), could this have been some sort of anniversary photo.

Oh Terry ! I did not even know she was holding a knife. Then, it helps me to place them in a context. I don't know why it makes me so happy but it does.
Thank you very very much for these two beautiful restoration.  :)

Hi,
Just found this and as usual you will be spoilt for choice - they are all marvellous aren't they?
It may be me - or the dress - but could she be pregnant, what do you think?

Hey Bev,

Seriously, I did not even realized but it is possible that she is pregnant on this photograph. It is tough to know because I don't know exactly when this picture was taken. Both my great grandparents are deceased and I doubt my grandma knows.

Thank you for this observation ! I will look at it.
