Restoration and Date if possible, please
« on: Wednesday 17 August 11 10:10 BST (UK) »
Hello,

This is a photo of my Great Great Grandfather who lived from 1855 to 1911. Unfortunately the print is in a very poor state. It is about A4 size, on card, but the edges are damaged and I can't tell if the corners are round or square.

Any attempts at restoration or dating would be much appreciated!

Simon

He looks to be in his 20s, perhaps early 30s, I wonder if this matches up with the photo/dress date?
