Preservation and Restoration Work
Every family has valuable and irreplaceable photographs in need of preservation and restoration before the originals are lost.
We make high resolution digital images from old prints or negatives. Restoration work is aimed at bringing back the faded details and repairing damage caused by careless handling or storage.
The digital images we produce can then be easily used to make quality prints, other decorative items or easily share with family.
Great care is always taken to work sensitively with the original to reveal what the photograph would have looked like when first taken. All retouching and blemish removal is done by hand on an enlarged copy of the original.
The example shown here is of my own family circa 1884. The original full plate Albumen Print was badly faded, had been stained, damaged and was showing some original retouching gone wrong. This has been now restored and reproduced as a modern sized 8” X 6” print.
Estimates for the necessary work will be given on an individual basis.
