Grandad has a nasty scratch
« on: Sunday 12 August 07 16:22 BST (UK) »
I know, two in one day, just having a sort-out, but promise not to ask again for a while..

Can anyone take the scratch off Grandad's face and generally work your magic, please

Have I scanned this too big?  Should I re-do it?

Many thanks,  Barbara

He was Swedish, died when he was only 33,
my Mother was only 4 and so of course I never
knew him, but I've read his letters to my Grandma,
and he sounded a very nice man.

Why were they all so serious on these studio photos,
I wonder, I would love to have seen the ancestors smiling,
was it not the done thing?

Thanks to you all for great restoration, you're brilliant
Barbara    :D :D :D

That's so sad Barbara.  I hope you don't mind but I've given his face a little colour (I need the practice)  ;D

Hi Sheila,

I don't mind at all, you've made him look even more Swedish!

I've never seen him in colour, much more lifelike

Thank you very much

Barbara   :D :D :D
