Only known photo of my great grandmother COMPLETED THANKS
« on: Monday 27 February 06 18:08 GMT (UK) »
From the same collection as the photo of my grandparents in ladies knickers comes this photo of my great grandmother Sarah.  This is the only known photo of her, and there is none of her husband James.

Its not a very flattering or glamorous photo but I would appreciate any enhancement you are able to give it,
Thanks

I have cleaned most of the tears and dirt from the photo. Overall, it's in fairly good condition.

She looks 'lovely' and a lot less wrinkly than before.  Thanks everso.

Any ideas what that might be in her hand?  She definiately has a walking stick - but the silver handle thing looks a bit like the handle bars of a bike - but where is the rest of it?  Must be something else.

Thanks again

I think it's a bicycle. She has one hand holding the handlebar and the other hand is on the seat.
