An old one to play with
« on: Saturday 16 August 08 20:32 BST (UK) »
I've been sent here from another thread, to see what anyone can do with this photo. Unfortunately my grandmother did some photo restoration of her own when she was a little girl, and tried to colour it in! I'd love to see what can be done with it, perhaps some more colour added.

The lady in the centre is my 3x great grand aunt, Jane Ogilvie (b.1808). Sitting on the carpet in a red dress is my GG grandmother Kitty (b.1857) and her sister Allie is on her right (b.1853). Jane ran a girls' school and the photo is of her with her boarders.

On the back someone has written that Jane's face is turned away from the camera to hide the fact that she had to have half her jaw bone removed, before the days of anaesthetics!

Wonderful photo, good to see it over here and I hope you get lots of restores! You have some nice ones already.

Fancy having to have half one's jaw removed...however, anesthesia was available from the 1840s although primitive and risky. Dr John Snow, famous for isolating the source of cholera, gave Queen Victoria chloroform for the birth of her son Leopold in 1853. Ether was also used.

Great work guys .... Jim ... the colours all blending is superb.

Wow, these are all superb.

Jim, Pete, Irene, Margaret, Carolyn, A huge thank you to you all for the time that you've spent on this. You've made them seem more alive. Interesting to see the range of colour choices for the girls' dresses.

Thanks again,
Adam
