Title: Percival Ewen Wilson & Miriam Theresa Wilson nee Chavasse
Post by: Rogtut on Sunday 03 January 21 15:13 GMT (UK)
Happy New Year to one and all and thanks to your help last year!

I am attaching 2 CDV photos (husband & wife) for restoration, please.  His is by Lombardi & Co of London and hers by Hills and Saunders of Oxford.  Any ideas when taken?

Thanks

First one as a black and white image.  I do not enhance faces with an AI app as these use replacement features rather the actual ones.

I agree with Gadget, I don't like enhancement apps. Here is my version of Percival.

I would say these were taken in the 1870s most likely late decade when the plait laid further back on the head.

Agree with Carol, re date  mid-late 1970s (add - maybe just into 1880)

Great photos and superb restorations. I don't use photo enhancing Cheat Apps either  ;D
Here is my take on Percival.

Thanks to all.  The usual crop of winners!  I also agree about the spooky eyes even though I don't understand the ins and outs of enhancement apps.  Thanks also for the dating.

We (myself and cousin) have a cdv album with a total of 114 individuals, many unfortunately unidentified, and 56 photographers.  I am presently profiling each photographer so any help with this for the cards I've submitted and other suggestions are welcomed.
