Thank you all so much for your valiant efforts with my really tired old photo.
excellent results.
Xin, liked your photo but I think you might have misinterpreted the big gap as part of the little one's clothes. It's not; the whole surface of the photo is missing there. Please accept that as constructuive criticism as I can see you might have thought it was a dress or similar. I trust you won't think I'm being ungrateful.

Any other thoughts about the date folks?

Thanks again to all.

Hi Terry,

Those are brilliant!

I cannot make head or tail of the bits stuck on!

My guesstimate would be 1900-1910 +or- 5
