Date please and a clean
« on: Saturday 23 May 09 21:05 BST (UK) »
I'd be very grateful if ggrandfather could be dated please.  I think it might be about 1900, compared to the only other photo I have of him, but am not at all sure.

And if someone could clean him up and remove the beastie creeping up his lapel I could stop worrying about him  ;D

Many thanks!

Great work rev, irene and genechaser!  I really do appreciate your help.   He looks much brighter now, and that beastie gone is such a relief  :).  By the way rev, I hope you've been wearing your Sunday best today  ;)

Hi Jim - it's not a postcard, thinner paper, although it does seem to be a photo cut in half  :o

Here's the back anyway incase it helps.
