Can I just point out peeps.... :-\

Excellent colourisations...

But the collar dog is being lost on his right side! They are a pair and should be visible both sides...it's not actually a smudge!  ;) ;)

 ;D ;D
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Scan at 300 plus for restores please. Scan at larger dpi for small photos. Don't forget to crop the scanner bed out! (Them's the white bits)
Please feel free to alter any work by me for the benefit of the Poster.

Thank you Bob, Carolyn and George for the latest additions to the collection. I see you did a black & white and a colour too George. My thanks to you all for your time and expertise. I have a framed copy of the damaged original which will soon be replaced by a restored version!

Great work everyone!
