Viktor Dorschke (1889-1969) of Upper Silesia Photo
« on: Wednesday 14 December 16 22:46 GMT (UK) »
Attached is a Photo of Viktor Dorschke/Drozdzok (1889-1969). This photo was taken in the 1960's with family in West Germany. Viktor Dorschke hailed from Hohenbirken, Ratibor, Upper Silesia and was a displaced person after WWII. He settled in Waldkraiburg, Bavaria after the war. He married Marie Kokot in 1914 and had at least six children, perhaps seven. This photo is a little blurry, can anyone help?

Two tries from me. The photo is too blurred to sharpen any real 'edges'. In the two versions below, I've tried to create the 'illusion' of less blurriness. The second version goes further than the first in that I've hand-drawn (hopefully) faint lines over the main edges (or where I guessed they might have been).

Thanks for the brushup- it looks sharp. Nice vivid lines.
