Little Vera c1900
« on: Sunday 15 June 08 10:10 BST (UK) »
I was given this lovely photo of OH's grandmother ( 1897 - 1974 ) today and thought I would share it with you. Picture is very dirty so if anyone wants to play with Vera just because she is lovely  Cheesy We will have a go at cleaning it too, though we have a larger version behind glass for the wall gallery.
Thanks

Wow  Cheesy
How exciting to view the various versions  Cheesy love them
I know how much time can slip away when you start doing a restore. We have tidied up a couple of black and white but haven't attempted any colouring, just fixed a few blemishes or redeye.
Thankyou so much for your contributions Irene, Carolyn and Caz
We are so pleased to have the photo and copies will be shared around  Cheesy

Hi Mare.......I have reposted your lovely photo as I was not happy with the first one, I have toned the colour down a bit and I think it looks nicer.

Hello Yvonne

Thank you for that really good clean up, a late night one for you too.
I think the photo was well loved and displayed without protection before storage.

You're welcome Mare,  Smiley

She's a little doll,

can't remember what time it was when I posted it, but guess you realise I'm in Oz,  Grin
