Hello Margaret...what a lovely photo...if you have the original would it be possible to give us a higher resolution scan, say 300-600dpi? Sue has done some very nice restores for you, but there might be someone who could give it a little colour and a bigger scan would be a benefit.

There's a tutorial at the top of the board if you need help...

Cheers,

Hello Sue

Thank you for lovely restoration. I will try to reset my scanner to higher resolution. The photo was taken in the mid 1890's i think as Richard was born in 1873.

Thanks again

Margaret

Hi Rabbit...I don't know much about dating men's fashions but the setting has an 1890s look to it...it's a very nice photo and I am lusting after that little settee

Cheers,

hi China,

i reckoned he was about 27 but it looks as if i am wrong, unless that was an old piece of furniture when the picture was taken.

have have to agree with you, it is a very nice piece indeed

PS i have to say that i thought his collar style was later than that but he doesn't look that old.
