Help needed to restore my great grandmother Barbara Owen...
« on: Sunday 09 May 21 18:18 BST (UK) »
I'd appreciate any efforts to restore this photo of my great grandmother Barbara Owen. Sadly, even though it was framed, the damp has got to it. Thanks.

Definitely over drawn.

I've seen many like this - including one of my grandfather.  I once had the task of restoring one that was A1 size. I had to photograph it and also scanned it in four overlapping  pieces. It took ages to do!

I did some work on it last night but have just tidied it up a little. I'm not getting the eyes out as much on my laptop. I kept some of the texture  :)
