1878 Gr Gr Aunt Caroline, Restore & Color Please?
« on: Thursday 04 August 11 16:51 BST (UK) »
Attached is a photo of my gr gr Aunt Caroline circa 1878 at approximately 16 years of age in Mississippi, USA. She had black hair and dark brown eyes. Any help in restoring or colorizing this photo would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Cheryl

Dear Mike,

Thank you so much for your hard work on my gr-aunt's photograph. The photo looks much clearer now, and you can now see her features.
Thanks again,
Cheryl

Dear Terry,
What a beautiful job you did on both the colorized and sepia version of gr-Aunt Caroline's photo! I especially appreciate the well-chosen oval mats that compliment the photos.

With much gratitude,
Cheryl
