1923 Hello Mr Rabbit
« on: Sunday 02 September 18 14:27 BST (UK) »
I had a smallish photo album page of six family photos emailed to me well over a decade ago from my late cousin when copying machines were not at their best.  At the time I took some individual photocopy prints off them but they weren't a success. They were taken c1923 when two sisters travelled down from Scotland to visit their younger sibling brothers in Yorkshire.

Could anyone enhance this one of brother Steenie showing a rabbit to his baby nephew Gordon being held by his mother Belle.  Thank you. Rena

This was not an easy one because there is so much pixellation. I realise you only have poor photos to work with, so I hope I've made this a bit clearer for you

Hello Pat,
Thank you so much for your valient effort - it looks much better. 

I was horrified when my uploaded image appeared on this rootschat page because the image doesn't look like this on my own computer. 

As the images sent to me were so small I copied them at 600 dpi - I wonder if I should copy them again but at 300 dpi?

Here's an earlier photo of my Aunt Belle taken up in Glasgow before she had the baby. BTW she wore spec.

Is it possible to do anything with it? 

Thank you for stopping by to look.   Rena

At the risk of stating the obvious, do you know if the originals still exist? I had a play with the first one.

Many thanks for your lovely "play with" the image Handypandy, which I appreciate.  I'll download & see what my printer makes of it.

You're basic instinct of whether I might be able to get better copies is well founded. The photos were taken by my father's oldest brother John b1907.  His only child died several years ago and I only fleetingly met with one of his children. I don't know who has the album now.

I've given Belle in the first one some glasses now. I was trying to decide if she was wearing glasses and made the wrong decision originally.

Aw thanks Trishanne I'm obliged for your efforts - thank you.

I'll download these but have discovered there's a Gremlin in my printer so there'll be a delay until I can print them off.
