Title: Francisco Souza (1920)
Post by: filipeslima on Wednesday 27 September 17 18:40 BST (UK)

Hi everyone,

I recently found this picture of my GG-grandfather, Francisco José Barboza de Souza, born in 9/3/1866, from Barcelos (Portugal).

I attach a 600dpi JPEG, and a 1200dpi TIF can be found here: https://goo.gl/TkCR3D

If someone could help me restore it, it would be amazing!

Cheers

Hello,

I have tired to retain as much of the country's embossed stamp while making his face clearer.  (Well, it just seemed that it could be of historic importance at some stage.  ;)) 

You will no doubt get other much better restorations of the man - what a wonderful face full of character he has.

Both amazing submissions.

@Handypandy: again, fantastic. I mean, look at those HD sideburns! And great work on the suit as well
@Wiggy: love the "cleanup"! Faithful to the original, but much clearer.

Really happy to see him much clearer now. Thanks to you both  :)
