Can this photo be made sharper
« on: Tuesday 18 September 07 18:40 BST (UK) »
This is a picture of my grandfather's brother, Walter, a British Home Child, (the older gentleman) come to Canada in 1907.  It is the only one I have of him.  Can anything be done to improve the quality of this picture?  Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. 

PS... can anyone tell me about the uniform the younger child is wearing?  Was that a popular fashion back in those days.... I'm thinking this picture was probably taken around 1930ish??

Hi This is just very quickly adjusted in photoshop ... no restoring done yet but it would be better if you can rescan the pic at a minimum of 300 dpi ..Will have a look after the footie !!
