This is my first attempt ever so please don't be too critical.

I think I may have gotten it too light.

Hi Trevor

It can be lightened but the quality soon goes. Can you scan it on a much higher resolution? 300-600dpi?

I did what I could to bring out the details, then warmed it up with a sepia effect.  Hope you like it!
