Post by: suecrilly on Sunday 06 March 16 22:59 GMT (UK)
I adore this photo - yet to know who it is

Would love it if you could restore and maybe one with a bit of colour

Many thanks once again

A colour version for you. To be honest i really had no clue what was the decoration or style of the hats - so that is probably completely wrong  :-\

Thanks
Martyn

I can see why you adore this photo, it's lovely.  I think the ladies are all proudly showing their Easter bonnets - and trying to outdo each other.

Sue, I'm so glad you like the photo, it was such a pleasure to work on.  I am hopeless at dating photos I'm afraid, but I think it looks Edwardian, so early 1900s, but I could be years out!!

Great news.. can you ask her to scan at 300dpi then as the resolution is what low at 72dpi...I'm sure she will appreciate the results.

wonderful picture. Unfortunately, there does not allow high resolution. it reduces the quality and value of the work.
