Mothers Neighbourhood gang...
« on: Friday 16 April 10 14:57 BST (UK) »
This photo is my mothers neighbourhood gang (about 1925), and is not long for passing from this world...the image is simply dissappearing...
If anyone has a magic wand out there  :)

Can't get enough detail for facial features but there's a woman in the back wearing a hat. Maybe someone else with expertise will have more luck.

I don't know if this is of any help at all to you,  but before computer enhancements were commonplace, I took a very faded ( had been sepia) photograph to a  place that not only took portrait photographs but also said they could restore old pictures. They were able to make a new negative from the old faint picture.   From that negative they made a a print, and it was  a big improvement over what I started with. I was pleased and took some other old pictures in to have them enlarged and improved. I don't know if you can find a person who does that kind of restoration. It might be worth a try. :)
