Very faded photo - is it beyond repair? COMPLETED THANK YOU
« on: Wednesday 23 February 11 19:49 GMT (UK) »
Dear all

I wonder if some kind person might have a go at restoring this old photo please.  I realise it is in very bad repair but would love to see it restored if possible.

Thanks for looking,
Anne

Dear Terry and Artistic, thank you both so much for the time and effort it must have taken to produce such lovely portraits.  She certainly looks much better!

And Sylvia, thank you also for spending time on this picture, I'm not sure if yours has loaded though as I can't see it?

Thanks again to everyone,
Anne

Dear David and Tony, further thanks for your excellent work.

David, I can't believe the difference some colour and background make to a picture (some legs too!), you can really imagine her in that library all those years ago.  And Tony, it's lovely to see her more clearly.

Thank you so much everyone for all your hard work, I am very grateful.

Anne
