Hi Sylvia

I found this hard to do, as I found it to small and not much detail. Would it be possilbe to rescan and repost a larger version.

Their never too big ;D Just too damaged :'( But we can bring a bit of life back. It's difficult when there is so much fading in the facial detail. I have sharpened it up a bit to make it a bit clearer. Not sure if it works or not.

Thanks thats a lot clearer.
The trouble is it's a copy of the original and I've no idea who has that, so need to . as much as possible.
On the side of the photo it has the studio name where it was done...A&G Taylor (crest) Photographer to the Queen, Glasgow. (I had to crop that off to fit to the page.) I believe that A&G Taylor had several branches round the UK.
