Definitely NOT a Marriage photo from 1840s.   

Photography was in its infancy around that time.

I'm going with Jim's assessment - because of the shirt collar and tie arrangement.

As has been said - hard to see without full phoo.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Family name Assistant Surgeon :

I have a surgeon rellie about that time (1800s actually)- it was suggested he might have been apprenticed to an apothocary  to train  as a surgeon/doctor

-Just wondering if, as a needle maker, maybe that could lead him on to surgery - if he used the needles he made . . .    Just a thought and supposition .   :-\ :-\

That would be my understanding/interpretation, too - but I can't be more sure than you!    :)

Looks like a pretty reasonable guess to me!    ;)   I'd have guessed the same.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Using modern techniques and filters in restoration

Agree with your thoughts, Carol.

I don't like the 'over-cooked' photos - as you say, they lose their historic 'feeling'.
  Sometimes using the modern techniques seem to change the photo so much it is hard to recognise the original person.

What an interesting thread!

I totally agree with Annie and her comment about where a topic will lead.
