The ONLY photograph of my great grandmother in existence
« on: Friday 24 October 14 07:43 BST (UK) »
If anyone would be so kind as to have a go at restoring this i would be very grateful.

As the title says this is the only picture of my great grandmother that exists and i want to make sure i can make it is good as possible as it will be used in all my references and materials.

My great grandmother, Clara Burton (1901-1941) is on the right, and her sister Elizabeth is on the left.

Many Thanks

I've given it a go, it's not an easy one. I've also done one of your great grandmother on her own. I hope it is the right person, did you mean she is on the right as you look at the photo?
