Completed - In need of expert help - restore 1935 photo
« on: Sunday 24 July 11 16:32 BST (UK) »
This is a real mess and I hope it can be made more presentable. I have not attempted to remove the sellotape along the top but unfortunately someone else has on the left.

Can it also be made a little larger without losing detail?

Thanks in advance.

I thought if the ship was listing that badly they wouldn't be smiling so I straightened it up a bit  ;D

Thank you Hippy, Cippy72, Mike, and Irene for your excellent work.

Without the cigarette he looks even more grim Hippy - not that I find the cigarette enhances things! Thanks for the straightening Irene - does make a difference.
