  An interpretation from me ... like many other restorers on here  I have to reduce and often compress the file  to fit in with the ceiling allowed on RC  so if you do require a larger version often  more suitable for printing purposes  you can send a P M  to the restorer concerned   who is usually  happy to send you the larger file via your email address.

 What a tragic story  about this young lady  though ... and  how nice that despite this it triggered such  a warm memory for you of your Mum Irene ....   :-*

Hi Poll,

Thanks for the restoration, they are all excellent, I wish I'd asked Santa for a magic wand.

Hi Colin

I've just found this version that I obviously had fun doing. I've put a frame around it and, as Poll says, it's been reduced and compressed to fit the RC restrictions.

Hi Gadget, thanks for the restore. I like the effect you've given it and it's much clearer and sharper than the original.

Much appreciated,
Colin

Hi David, thanks for this one. I don't know anything about how the restorers work their magic but it appears that the right side of her face caused a problem, particularly around the eye. So it gives me an idea of just how much effort goes into the job.

Thanks to you and all the others who have gone to the trouble with this.

Colin

That's a cracker, David  :D

I've just found another one while sorting out my photo files.
