Hi Loiuse.....One from me also and a fabulous photo I must say !.

So clear. Wonderful restoration and I love the photographer's mark...not sure I can read it; but I know it was taken in Scarborough. Great outfit for a walk in the sand, eh?

Can we see the back ?

It may take me a few days to get a photo of the back; but I will certainly try. Can anyone make out the name of the photographer? I can't and perhaps I can research when they were in business.

I gave it a go for you in the original tone.

One with a different tone and added texture.

Thank you Carol - Both lovely restorations!!

I guess my latest post related to the Sarony Studio in Scarborough (owned by Oliver Sarony) was a bit premature. Since he died in 1879 I thought that might better date the photo in question. However, on the following link to photographers of the Victorian and Edwardian period, I find two photos dated circa 1890's that have the exact style of studio name as mine:

Back to square one! I don't think mine is that late, based on Jane's apparent age. But could still be after Oliver Sarony's death. There are numerous versions of the studio's signature out there. I'll keep searching.

Take it from me this is 1880's.
