Colourisation of Old Photo, Dublin early 1900's

[Runner55]

Hi Rootschatters

I very recently came into possession of this rather amusing old picture of my 2 x great grandmother, Elizabeth O'Connor, standing proudly with some of her grandchildren on the steps of her greengrocer shop at 113 Amiens Street, Dublin, early 1900's.

I would be most grateful if any Rootschatters could kindly work their magic on colourising the picture - particularly emphasising the huge pile of cabbages outside the shop (!!) Looks like they've just been delivered from a local farm - wouldn't want to have to shift that lot ...   

I'd just love a colourised version of the picture that I could get printed to hang on the wall. I got the picture from a cousin I made contact with through Ancestry, and it's the first time I've ever seen a picture of this family shop that I'd heard so much about down the years.

Any assistance would be very gratefully received.

Thanking you in advance

Great photo, will attempt a colour later today, but look at the spooky ghost on the left

Many thanks ptdrifter .... much appreciated ...and yes, love the spooky ghost on the left ...

I'd love to know how the picture came to be taken in the first place.

Hi Runner, here is my colour version for you. I tried not to make it to new as it is an historical photo.

Oh Wow! Treetotal, that is just amazing.  Brings the whole scene to life.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do that.  Just stunning!!! Wow!

I was waiting to see how it would turn out - fantastic work, Carol.
It will look great on your wall Runner - a great talking point.

You're so right Heywood, I just can't wait to get it framed and put it on the wall.  Just incredible Carol!

And as japeflakes said earlier, that's a lot of greens!! Don't need five-a-day there - that's plenty enough on its own!

I'm just so over the moon with that.

Big thanks again.

PS to Carol, I love the attention to detail on the products in the shop window. Just marvellous.
