This is a resto of a tintype of my great-great grandmother, at least I think that's who this is. I'm sure my mom or one of my aunts can correct me.
This one was in terrible shape but I think I brought it back ok. You can't see it in this image but there was an amazing amount of crazing (cracks) in the skin on the hands and face. I lessened it somewhat but couldn't take it completely out without destroying the character of the face and hands. Still not bad.
I love this photo, as I worked on it I could definitely feel those eyes looking into me from across the gulf of years...
As usual please click on the image for a larger viewing size.
