Early 20th Century Photo Restoration

Photos from the early 20th century suffer patterns of damage similar to photos from the last decades of the nineteenth century: fading, silverfish damage, staining and cracking. With the advent of the silver-gelatin print during these years, we also see more ‘silver-mirroring’, the oxidisation of the silver in dark areas in a photograph which gives some old photos a ghostly appearance.

Photographs from the Edwardian era (1901-1910) are real treasures to work with – the images are beautifully composed studio portraits, the costumes often extravagant, and the mood lighter than Victorian era photos.

We can fully restore your early 20th century photo and reprint on a paper to match the look and feel of the original.
