[QUOTE="Born2it, post: 4388574, member: 59977"]The first photograph is of the Naval Gun Factory Band, and is almost - or just barely - an antique, as I am almost positive it dates from the first quarter of the 1900’s. I apologize for the lack of pictures of the back, but I’m scared to take it out of the frame at the moment. If you zoom in, you should just barely see a handwritten note on where “Chas” is. The second is a closeup of my Great Uncle Charlie. The third is a newspaper article about him. The fourth is his grave. I have two questions. 1) The photograph is *not* for sale, but as much as my family treasures it, I would think other descendants of band members might like a good quality scan. Any suggestions for making this happen are very welcome. 2) The photograph was framed without glass, and could really use a cleaning, but I haven’t a clue how to go about it. I - and the photograph - are currently in the Atlanta area. As a total newbie, I hope this post is acceptable for this forum, and any corrections will be kindly received.
