This is a very old photo dating to the Civil War era.  The photo was cracked and damaged after years of storage.    Large pieces of the original were missing and there were numerous cuts and cracks.  Tape was applied to the photo in the 1950's which caused additional discoloration and it had been stored in a pizza box for the past 30 years.  Original photo is approximately 20 inches wide.  Repair time was three hours.  Original photo was scanned in four parts, reassembled digitally, and then reprinted.  Repaired image was given back to the client both as a full size print and as a digital file on CD.

This is an original Civil War draft notice, signed by Illinois Governor Richard Yates in 1863.  It had been folded and taped and was in six pieces.  The pieces were scanned, reassembled, the tape lines were removed, and the missing letters and words were carefully repaired.  This project took five hours. The client received the original in the same condition as delivered, with a print the exact size as the original, plus the digital file on CD.
