Dating Restore and Colour if anyone is interested.
« on: Tuesday 10 February 15 08:59 GMT (UK) »
Hi All

Just recently rescued a few photos from a junk store and some of them are really nice.  Anyway, I think they deserve to be brought back to their former glory so please feel free to be creative, if any one feels like restoring and/or colouring.

I'm presuming 1920s, but interested to know what the gurus have to say.

Cheers

Could be late 20's but more likely 1930's.
In the style of what was commonly called "cinema photography", that is to say having a photo taken that made you look like a film star.

Thanks Jim, very interesting snippet of info.  The glamour photography of yesteryear!

I knew you would like this one Carol, stunning isn't it.  No information to identify the young woman though sadly.
