can anyone give little Margaret a wee bit of colour please
« on: Sunday 03 September 06 12:39 BST (UK) »
Hello, many thanks to everyone who has helped me in the past. I am hoping someone can please give a bit of colour to this little lass. She told me today ( at the old people's home) that her dress was pale pink, her hair was brown with a wee bit of red, & that she was only 4 years when the picture was taken 75 years ago.  I know that she would be ecstatic at seeing herself in colour.

Here's my effort.

I can change the colours if you like.

Cheers

Thank you so much Cazza and Glen, appreciate your help. I will have both printed off and give to Margaret next weekend, I know that she will be really pleased.

Hi Tomkin, it is truly amazing how lovely the colours are, many thanks. Margaret will be delighted with these different styles/colours of her as a little girl.

Can't believe I completely missed her shoes. Here's a quick touch up.

Hi Eilidh

Just had another look at the photo and realised I also missed the watermark, so here's edit No 3  ::)

That wouldn't be Whitehead Studios, Ipswich Qld,  Australia by any chance would it, cos if it is, I'm just down the road!!!   ;D ;D ;D

Cheers

Hi Cazza, spot on, photo taken at Whitehead Ipswich. On google I found that F A Whitehead was a prominent photographer in the area and they are one of longest running studios in OZ.  I hail from Brisbane, small world eh?

Thanks once again for helping me. Margaret is a lovely woman who is in the same nursing home as my mother-in-law.  She will be thrilled to see herself in "pink"

Bye for now
