Annie Ovens, 1917, Toronto, Canada - Touch up, please?

[Lisa in California]

If possible, could the attached photo be cleaned up, please?  It would be nice to have the tear "repaired" and if possible, the black tabs removed. The photo is slightly curled so I added coins to the edges to try to get it flattened out.

Annie is the lady who is sitting in the chair.  She was quite ill at the time and passed away six months later.  Annie's husband, two daughters and son-in-law are in the photo.

If someone would like a challenge to add colour to the photo, that would be wonderful but I am mostly hopeful of having a clean photo of the family.    The groom and bride had brown hair.  The lady sitting on the grass had "fiery" red hair.  Annie's husband had sandy-coloured hair.  We don't know Annie's hair colour.

Thank you in advance for any assistance with this wedding photo.  Lisa

Hi Peter:

Thank you for your work as well.  It is also wonderful.  Seeing the enlarged photos also brings out the little details like the "trim" near the bottom of Annie's dress.  I also never noticed that the bride had short sleeves; it is not something that I would have expected since she was married in late-winter but perhaps it was the style.

Thank you, Lisa.

[McGroger]

You're most welcome, Lisa.

Re the women's clothing: you'd  have to think it was reasonably warm, rather than barely above freezing point. Even Annie seems to be fairly lightly dressed.

Like Peter, I was surprised this was a late winter wedding, because of the clothes. I have not put any leaves on the tree though.
