I  found her!!     ;D ;D ;D

 . . . . .   But I have no idea how to proceed from here.   :-\ :-\

I can't get her out of the 'spiney bush'!  Someone else is welcome to use what I've done if they wish . . .  though I know most good restorers prefer to work from the original.

BUT . . .  at least you have given the restorers a decent scan to work with even if the photo is pretty bad  (very bad!!    ;))  Thanks for that at least!   :D

This is sending me bat-eyed, so I'd better stop. I'll echo Wiggie: if anyone else wants to do more work on mine, please feel free.
Cheers, Peter.

The image is so badly damaged that a meaningful restore couldn't be achieved without making it up...sorry  :-\

Not many details and a lot of 'stripes' in this photo. I'm sure a professional restorer would (at a price) make a much better job but this is my (quick amateur) attempt.
