Finished some photo restoration this afternoon!
This photo is a very dark positive printed on a tiny piece of glass about an inch and a half or so tall. He was found among a group of three, only one of which we knew the identity of. The family name is Boots, so we’ve nicknamed this one Glass Boots, to go with his compatriots Ed Boots and Tin Boots. We scanned him at fucktillion dpi and I got to clean him up for my friend, as for once I’m doing this on someone else’s ancestors, haha.
His pink cheeks and lips are an intentional tinting from the original print and not anything I’ve added, though it’s very difficult to see it in real life.
