Valentine William BULLEN & Rachel BROOKER
« on: Monday 30 August 10 07:57 BST (UK) »
Hello again all,

Received this beautiful old photo copy from the Singleton Historical Museum last week and whilst I am absolutely thrilled to bits with it, I was wondering if it can be enhanced at all?  I find that the man's eyes look a little bit haunting, there's a line which runs down the woman on her left side from her cheek to just above where her knee would be & there are some swirly things throughout the photo, there's also a blemish on the background near the top of Rachel's veil.  The photo appears to have been colour which has faded, so I don't mind if any fixes are in black & white.

Also, has anyone got any idea what the piece of jewellery may have been that appears to be hanging from Rachel's waist?  Did women wear fob watches as well as men in 1884?

Thanking you all in advance.  I really love this photo!

Dear Terry,

What a fantastic job you've done on this photo!  I can't tell you how I appreciate it.  I loved the photo before but now I'm totally wrapped.

Thank you very much,
Michelle
