Great Grandad's Fading Fast

[Marengo]

Hi Guys -
This is the only known photo of my great grandfather. (1910)
I'd greatly appreciate anyone's effort to revive him before he fades away forever.
If possible, I'd also appreciate a cropped pic of just the old boy.
Thanks, in anticipation.

Here's a quick one from me of the cropped image. Hope it's OK

Thanks very much Joy and Lones.
You're certainly quick off the mark.
I just wish the technology was there to give himm a 'virtual shave' - then I could see if inherited anything else besides the nose.
 Much appreciated. Thanks again.

Thanks for the 'thanks' Ed, it was a pleasure. He had a lovely face and I bet his
eyes twinkled.

You might be better off not knowing 

You're very welcome.  I will try to do the whole thing if time permits, who are the children?  Do you know?

Thanks for the interest, Lones.
Yes, I do know the children.
They are two of his grandaughters;
 Myra (age one) and Audrey (4 months) - cousins to my father.
Myra died in 2002, aged 92.
Great-grandad was a 'late starter' - he was born in Sheffield, Uk in 1825 and didn't marry (in NZ) until 1866, age 41. He was sixty when his last child was born - the mother of the older baby in the photo.
He died one year after this photo was taken, age 86. (He would've probably lived a little longer if he hadn't been hooked on his own medicine).

Thanks Xin -

He was well gone long before my time and this is the only photo of him that is known (by myself) to exist.
So - I'm in no position to judge the accuracy of your 'reconstruction'.
(I was being mildly frivolous with the shaving idea. I realise it could only ever be a guess.)
Nevertheless, thanks for guessing!
