Restoring photos from the 1940s
Most of the photos we work with from this decade are hand-coloured studio portraits. These images are typically stained, delaminated or insect damaged, but are usually in fair condition otherwise. When restoring these photos we aim to preserve the hand-coloured look and feel, and print them on matte archival paper for authentic and long lasting results.

We recovered the severely smudged and stained lower section of this image by grafting in elements from other images, and carefully painting in new detail to match the original image.
