Hi Ann....How interesting...thanks for sharing....these would benefit from a tidy up, why not put them on the Photo Restoration board for repair.

Are there any more, or just the two?

I have six images of this historic signing. All battered and so sad they were not in my possession earlier. I would have taken better care of them.

How do I transfer these two image to that board?  It will not let me repost them unless I change the file name

Hi Anne...you can use the report to moderator and ask for them to be moved to the photo board.

People might be interested in seeing them despite their poor condition.  :)
