This photograph of Mary was probably taken in Ireland. She was born in 1915. I only realised what a lovely photo it is when I scanned it today and zoomed in on the face. Please could someone repair this photograph of a very special lady for me and perhaps give an approximate date. Mary moved to England during the late 1940s so it should be before then.
It is a very unusual type of photograph. It is very dark and seems to have a shiny covering over it which has bubbled and cracked. One small piece at the top came off when I was working with it today. It is mounted in a cardboard frame with scalloped edges. There are no identifying marks on the back, just bubbles and brown patches. There is another photograph of the same type along with other photographs which were found in a Ration Books Holder with Mary's name and address on it. I have scanned the photograph in its frame to show what it looks like.
Would appreciate some help please
Thank you
Angela
PS I have scanned this at 400 dpi. If a 600 dpi scan would be easier to work with as there is damage to the face please let me know so I can rescan.
