Description

I had a lot of reservations when i started restoring this old photo. There were TONS of scratches and dots, many yellow staines and some information was just not there, as some paper was missing. The pic looked very flat and grey. Also i had to do a lot of improving on the shadows under the nose, which were just too dark. The shadows formed a kind of Hitler moustache... LOL Ah, and Carol, This pic had some information on the back. It read (translated): "Souvenir from your sister Angele, 1923" Have a GREAT monday, everyone Dirk

Next time give us the "before" image too please. LOL I can sense it is a tremendous job and would like to see the full extent of it. Judged from the edges I'd say it is very well restored because the edges normally suffer most. The frame wraps up a good finish to the overall picture. There was a time when we did this with water colour brushes to restore the damage. Excellent, Dirk.
