Dating and Restoring please!
« on: Thursday 25 March 10 10:01 GMT (UK) »
This photograph is marked 'Uncle Duncan', but there are two people who might fit the description.

Could anyone give me a clue as to when this might have been taken and hazard a guess at the gentleman's age.

It is a photograph of the original, which has printed on the back -

Davis, 16, Princes Street, Edinburgh - 52 West Nile Street, Glasgow.

It's not in need of major restoration but would benefit from being tidied up if any talented restorer fancied tackling it for me.  ;)
