one from me
GUIDE FOR PHOTO RESTORATIONS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SCANNER BED IS CLEAN AND SCAN AT A RESOLUTION OF 300-600 WITH THE SCALE AT 100% MINIMUM.

If you would like a coloured version, details such as hair colour , eyes and clothing etc.  if known  would be helpful to restorers

Hi George :)

The date code on the back of this one seems to be for 1893, which would fit with the design of cherubs and camera ( ::) ;D  ), give it a year or two afterwards and say 1893-1895 or so.

Beautiful restorations and colourings, everyone!  :D

Cheers
Prue
