Hi

If you have access to the original, could you scan the bottom part of it, so that it can be combined and a full picture can be made.

Don't have a clue about a date for it. Pre 1920 but post 1890 is about all I'd venture.

Thats fine if you don't have the original.

Its clear enough to colour and the repair isn't too hard. Maybe a couple of days before I can get round to it though

Here's a quick clan of the major creases but it still needs a good clean up.

No idea about the year, but the man in the back row, far left, looks pasted/added in.

For the best possible restoration: Scan at 300dpi • full color (even B&W's) • save with as little jpeg compression as possible.

He does look out of focus compared to the rest doesn't he?

Will have a go at colouring them now.

OK to use your cleanup deadants?

Cheers

I presume deadants is in the land of nod - or should that be Oz! Grin

So - I have used his cleaned up photo and added a bit of colour.

Cheers

Keith

I noticed that but this was the tatty original photograph that I scanned (they couldn't have done things like that in those days)
