Examples of Our Work:
This gentleman was the Czech uncle of a high school friend. He perished in the Holocaust, making this photo over 60 years old. It's the only existing picture of this relative, and my friend wondered if it was too far gone to be restored. What do you think?



Rev. Eli Looman
Rev. Eli Looman (1817-1901), a Methodist minister in Ohio. Thus this photo is over 100 years old. It's damaged, dirty, and badly faded, but it's unique. In the second frame it has been converted to black-and-white and the contrast has been improved. The next frame shows the damage repaired and preliminary cleaning up done. The fourth is the finished photo, but if you prefer the sepia look, we can oblige, as in the fifth frame. (Eli was my great-great-great grandfather.)



Leona on Riverboat, 1928

Leona Pearl Keller Phillips (1898-1984), here seen on the deck of a riverboat on the Hudson circa 1928. The original print is spoiled by chemical stains. Frame 2 shows the worst of the stains removed. In frame 3 the cleanup is complete, and the photo has been given a bit more "snap". The fourth and fifth frames show the old-fashioned wide borders and a simulated deckled edge. (Leona was my grandmother.)





Baby Leona


Leona again, this time as an infant, looking rather bewildered at having her first portrait taken. The original cabinet card is badly scuffed, as well as dirty — in fact, the damage is even more severe in the original print than is visible here. This time we worked directly in sepia (for technical reasons), reducing the visible scuffmarks, dirt and other defects. There is also a black-and-white version for comparison. While there is still some room for improvement, it would be at the cost of considerable time.



Yes! We do color.
