My mum is the little girl on the right, Nellie and her sister and brother.
Thanks

any chance of a rescan at a higher resolution.
When you rescan make the dpi 300 and leave out the scanner bed.

G'Day Dorcus
Rough clean just to give you some idea of the potential this pic has for a really good restoration. Do a preview scan, crop to size before doing the full scan at 300ppi and then repost.
