COMPLETED - Touch up or restoration - no dating required
« on: Wednesday 04 March 09 20:20 GMT (UK) »
HI, After coming back from a once in a lifetime trip, I am sorting through some old photos that were given to me. Unfortunately they are in very poor shape and I was hoping some kind person could work their magic and bring them back to life.

I have 3 photos that I'd like to submit and I will put them on different posts. Thank you very much for your help.

For those that looked earlier, I have reposted the photo with a higher rez.

Then again, it's surprising what a splash of paint can do.

hi folks,

what a lovely picture. these dresses look like a national costume Shauna, or at least something very different from the ones we usually get.

do you know what it is.  haven't the restorers done a superb job on it too

I couldn't make up my mind if the one holding the baby was a man or a woman ???

hi terry,

looks like grandma to me, no man has hands that slim. do they. i was going to say then i looked at the original again ???

the original pic has larger hands but the skirt indicates a woman to me.
