old family home c1935
« on: Thursday 05 November 09 05:40 UTC (UK) »
Hi all!

Would anyone be able to do anything with this pic c1935 of our old family home living-room.

The problem area is the big white area around the table!

Here's hoping that some kind person might try to clean the pic up a bit.......
I don't particularly want any colouring, but if you want to try..............!!!!

thank you

Hi Doug...I had a go but there are a lot of empty pixels and I didn't want to spoil the ambience by making it up....I don't know if it is sunlight or camera exposure...lovely piece of social history though  Cool.It tells it's own story...Just charming.
Nice work Carolyn...it must have taken ages to do.

I just love this photo. A snapshot in time.

Is the bright square area on the table some sunlight shining into the room - hence the glare and the odd shaped bright area on the table? I'm wondering if there might only be a checked cloth on the table as can be seen around the edge of the table ...

(You guys are doing some great restoration work on this photo  Smiley)
