Restore of Grandad and Grandma
« on: Sunday 14 June 09 17:25 BST (UK) »
Another one to work your magic on., date is 1914.

As you can see, this one is rather a mess, not helped by the photographer focusing on the wall!

I anyone wants to use the tif it is here

Thanks,
Deryck

Oldhippy, Irene and Terry thanks you all your restores, superb, it must have been a very difficult shot to work with. I really appreciate your efforts.

Thanks,
Deryck
