Old
photo's, often irreplaceable images of loved ones from long ago,
can be damaged by time. They become torn or creased, faded and stained
by sometimes bad keeping.
With years of experience in this very specialised work, they can
be repaired and restored to look as new again. My web site has many
examples of actual jobs. Have a look and be amazed. |
