COMPLETED...Please restore this pic - only a little tidy up req'd thanks
« on: Thursday 15 February 07 12:20 GMT (UK) »
Dear Rootschatters, Hi there.  I've been extremely lucky to obtain a photograph of my late grandfather Edgar Woodcock's 1912-1980 grandmother Isabella Woodcock nee Buchan 1837-1919 ... all the way from merrie old England.

Can anyone please have a go at tidying her up a bit?  Q.Do you think it's a scottish type dress she's wearing?

Thanks and regards,
Alison Qld Australia.

Quite a clean photo really, a few dots removed and frame re-shaped.

Dear Jim, That looks so much better and straighter too.  When I first posted photo I thought photo must have been rumpled a bit then scanned as is.  Now it seems she's wearing a rough lacy dress.  Thank you, Alison.  :)

Here's a slightly different take on it. A head and shoulders closeup, with blemishes removes

Thanks to Sharon, GeneChase, Mudge and GenieFan, I actually have tears in my eyes.  You guys are special.  I love them all and each one is so different.  I'm impressed.  I love the one with the frame, and now I think my favourite one is by GenieFan, it's just so cute.

Thank you all so much,
Alison.
