Sharpening a James photo please
« on: Saturday 13 January 24 13:59 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I'd be very grateful if something could be done to sharpen up the attached photo. It's of Fred and Charlotte James with a little girl, who I think they adopted. Taken outside the crossing-keeper's cottage in Upper Soudley, England, around 1897.
A more modern photo of the same cottage for colour reference can be found here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1050003

I believe the porch was added after the earlier photo was taken.
Thanks in advance, Nick
