George is the son of Eliza Scarfe (nee Stevens) who has been previously 'restored' on RC.

If the image lends itself to colouring then that would be a bonus - otherwise a clean up would be appreciated.

Super clean-ups & more Carol so thank you. Beautiful dress isn't it & I love the way you have improved the insert photo of Effie with her mother on the second version.

It looks to me like their eyes have been made-up for the photo  :-\

Keith  :)

I have revised and replaced the second version and reduced some of the shadow...it's the lighting that has created that look.
Gorgeous dress.
Glad you are pleased with it.

I thought they both had a couple of black eyes! I love both  your versions  :)

That's super japeflakes - your version also really brings out the backdrop which I always find interesting on these old photos.

Great restore - thank you
