Daguerrotype Restoration Mother Luscher

[gvgirl]

This daguerreotype has a very light pencil notation on the back that says Mother Luscher.  I believe it to be my 2GG who was born in 1806 and died in 1889 in Switzerland.  Would love to see a cleaned up version.

Thank you,   Carol Ballard   Olympia, WA  USA

Hi,

Somehow only the back of this photo was posted in my last try.  Here's the front which I'd love to see cleaned up.  The image is pretty good actually.  I believe the photo to be of Johanna Graf my 2GG, born in 1806, died in 1899 in Switzerland. 

Thank you all and cheers~   Carol Ballard

Not very good but had a go:

This is a daguerrotype photo and they were always printed as a mirror image so I have flipped the image so her dress buttons up the correct way.

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised at all the results.  Did not realize the images were reversed in daguerrotypes so appreciate being educated on that.  I LOVE the results!

Thanks to japeflakes, Trishanne and McGroger!  You are truly photo angels!

I started a coloured version last night but my computer froze three quarters of the way through and I lost all the work. So here is my belated coloured version.
