This photograph seems at first sight to be beyond repair, the original scan shows a thick liquid stain which almost completely masks the image below it. The restored version was achieved by combining many different techniques, and the detail images below show the quality of the finished restoration.

The photographs shown on this page are reproduced with the kind permission from the owner of the original photograph Mr Ivor Carl Skrine.
