Title: Great Aunt Eileen O'Sullivan
Post by: GuyMassey on Tuesday 06 July 21 17:11 BST (UK)

I have two damaged old photographs of my beautiful great aunt, which I would love to display. Can any of our wonderful restorers help me please?

Wow, that was quick! What amazing skills you have all demonstrated! Thank you so much. Does anyone fancy giving Eileen some colour in this picture please? She was everyone's favourite Aunt back in the day, no wonder, she was quite a beauty! Sadly she passed away from Cancer when I was a small boy. It emerged about ten years ago, that her passing may have been accelerated by an administered overdose of morphine. This was investigated by the police following a news story in the press and on TV. No action was taken for this apparent "mercy killing". I saw the item on the national news, and immediately recognised the photograph of her that they showed. It was quite a shock to say the least!

Thank you again for all the kind input from you talented folk. I keep trying (and failing), I can never make my efforts look natural. I know practice makes perfect and you all help me so much by showing me what can be achieved with the right skills and a good eye.   :) :) :)

Thank you. Yes I agree, she was very attractive. She was about 60 when I first met her as a child. She was a favorite aunt.
