Not sure if any thing can be done...
« on: Tuesday 30 May 06 12:31 BST (UK) »
This photo taken around 1900 has the dreaded sticky tape right across a tear in the middle. Can anyone help improve it or is it too far gone??

Any improvement would be greatly appreciated. Cheers JK

It's far from irretriviable, I'm sure someone can get it looking lovely for you  :). This is my first attempt at a repair (I'm a colourer really!) so I hope it's not too bad!

Best
