or, just a quick simple go..

I do like this one...

I must admit JF, in all the years that you have been restoring, you have always offered pure and honest versions of the originals and I admire you for that. I too prefer historical photos to be true to the era that they were taken.
In years to come the next generation will be in danger of never having any historical, paper photos of their Ancestors, they will be plastic Doppelgangers. Not only that, but the art of photo restoration will be lost forever. I rarely do the photos now, as before, I would often spend three or four hours a day working on a damaged photo is no longer worthwhile  :-\

I would think that it could be circa 1870 +/-. She could have an earlier pregnancy which miscarried.   Also, she might not have been dressed in the height of fashion.

What do you think, Carol?

Yes both are worth considering, it pays to be open minded.

She looks in her early 20s. Also,when greatly enlarged, I'm sure that I can see a wedding ring.


Gadget

Yes I agree on both counts.

At the risk of starting an argument ;D, I really don't think AI is there yet. Look at the faces that AI produces in some "restores", with the result producing different people altogether, appearing nothing like the real thing. In distinguishing facial features, human observation is still way ahead.

I couldn't agree more, it just produces a Doppelganger.

I have my doubts, the ears look different to me and the lips are also fleshier in the photo of the second person.
