I think this picture was taken in about 1902, it has just been sent to me by a distant relative. Not sure who the toddler is yet and although baby is wearing a dress ... not sure whether a little boy or a little girl!
Appreciate someone working their magic ... this could be my grandfather Im looking at.
Many Thanks
Sue

Hi Sue,
Have you scanned it in - if so it is in greyscale - we will get better results if you can rescan in colour - (yes even tho it is a B/w image!!  )
Cheers
Keith

Thanks Keith ... the picture has been sent to me so I cannot rescan from this end. I will see what I can do.

Thanks Keith and Tomkin ... brilliant work and that door has been photographed quite a few times!
It helps to pinpoint where the photo was taken.
Hmmmm now think the toddler must be a little girl because she seems to be holding a dolly in her hand. Back to the drawing board I think to see what other grandchildren could have visited the house around 1902!
Great work!
Sue

Hi Annie,
I thought that you had left the country.
I only noticed the door because it's just like the
backdoor of our pub. I always comment on it as I
crawl past on my way home.

Hi Sue,
If you think she is a girl - she must be in pink - but is that a bandage on her hand - perhaps she has been in a fight with her brother
Cheers

What wonderful interpretations of colour, especially from a picture which had its limitations because it had been scanned in greyscale!
I love both pictures - especially the way you have brought the child's face to life Skippy.
The eye does seem to see more when the picture is coloured in, I never noticed the doll in the original photograph, the possibility of a bandage or what could be a packet of cigarettes on the chair.
Great work once again folks, I'm in awe of your talents.
Sue
