Hi all,
I've been mucking around with this one, but not much joy. That's my grandmother on the end with the worst of the fire damage, so who wants a challenge?
(My mother's house burnt down about 20 years ago - that'll teach her to smoke in bed!)
Thanks
Beth

I've just come across this photo.
This photograph has got to be one of my favourites on this site. What a great family picture, and so clear, even with minor fire damage.
Caz, this is also a fantastic restore. I have never tried to restore a photograph before but I am a wee bit in awe if the truth be told!
Reayboy.
PS - I couldn't help noticing the table on which the plantpot is seated on te left of the photograph. Was this photo taken in 1930's Germany?

Warts and all, they're all mine.

Not unless the piccy is the wrong way around. The Nazi party, 99% of the time, used a "counter-clockwise" version - this is a clockwise design. But the history of the symbol is far, far older than Germany itself - the table could very well have been of Indian origin.

Thanks for the restore all,
Reayboy, I'm glad you like it, it was taken in Ararat Victoria, Australia c1910. There seems to have been quite a tradition with the clockwise version in Australia (here is link to wikipedia about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika if you are interested.
I also am in posseion of a table cloth from the other side of my family which also has them.

I heard once that the clockwise was the original, some sort of sign of peace, and that Hitler chose it and switched it round.
