Challenging Restoration?
« on: Saturday 11 April 09 17:34 BST (UK) »
Attached is a photograph of my great grandmother Louisa Staker with son George c. 1915. It is a scan of a large 16 x 12 photo that has been folded and damaged in the past. Any help to restore this picture would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Neil Castle

Thank you all for your efforts restoring my photo. You are all very talented. It is amazing what can be done with what looks like non-fixable photos.

I really appreciate your help.

Cheers
