As I said, enjoy the laugh.   The boy in the middle has really got a big head.  ;D

I thought the wee boy with the curls was cute.

I love the little darlings in the front row - on the left, the little one wearing what looks like a kilt, and on the right, the curly mop with the stripey pants  :D :-*

Anyway, I haven't done much with this but I did split it through the middle and pull it apart to where I think the two halves would have been originally - as you can see, there's a huge gap down the middle  :'(  Tidied up a little in top left corner, but don't have time to do more unfortunately.

Prue

Added:  actually, I think they probably need to be slightly further apart than this, looking at the alignments of shoulders and heads down the split  :-\

I think you are right Prue.

Two missing from both the top and middle rows and one from the bottom row.

Hello Prue,
I can see how the picture should have been. Jim & Jenny were of the same opinion as you it being torn right down the middle and put back together somehow. I imagine it must have been like this for some time but I will try and find out. Thanks for your help.
