Hi !
There is my grand-grandparents. I never met them but I found this old picture in my grandma stuff.
The picture is a bit deteriorated with time... but they look happy so I kept it. Can someone help me with those little scratches and color, please ? :)

Thank you very very much !

What a lovely photo to have, they do look happy don't they!  I cannot help with restoring your photo (I'm not clever enough  ;D) but I'm sure the talented Rootschat restorers will be able to clean it up for you.

Thank you for your adorable comment !
I don't know them but I think it will be amazing to see them for "real" (with colors and "new" picture) exactly as they were at this time.  :)

I like your photo because it is natural, not a forced pose for a studio photographer.  They are in their own surroundings, relaxed and happy.  I am looking forward to seeing what the restorers can do to enhance it.
