- Reason
- This is one of the requests I got. Not particularly hard, but I think the results are worth it. Typical 1910s-1920s fadeout at the bottom, which I think is fine; nothing too awful to fix. I did spend some extra time on the face, as that always seems to pay dividends. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.1% of all FPs 23:57, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

- Weak support – For historical EV only. Detail isn't up to others from this era that Adam has restored. – Sca (talk) 12:28, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Sca: Insofar as it helps, this is kind of an era where soft focus was considered artistic. I believe it's the best image we're likely to get of her, but I do see your point. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.1% of all FPs 09:24, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- 10-4. I've seen that in some old family photos. Sca (talk) 13:41, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- It may have been shot with a Petzval "portrait" lens, but in addition to the soft focus, it looks like there's a bit of motion blur, too. --Janke | Talk 09:48, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
