OriginalAgnes Booth in the first American performance of W.S. Gilbert's Engaged (1879)
Reason
While it will not hold up to pixel peeping - the original is about 4 inches (10.5 cm) wide, and I'd say it looks pretty good up to about 4x original size. You can get it up to 8x or so; it won't look great at that point.

  • There's something in the top right corner: like part of a letter. And is there a repair to the image you have restored - in her dress just above the corner of the chaise longue? By the way, have you thought of using Topaz Gigapixel to enlarge your restorations? I use it when I restore my old family photos. You can get a free trial.

    As for the letter, I believe that's part of the mount that was covered by the large picture. As for the bit above the chaise lounge - fixing it now. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 22:42, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Just realised I didn't answer: As for Topaz Gigapixel... trying to avoid AI on old images. I suspect they're trained on modern photography, and I don't want to introduce oddities. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 15:25, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – I can't consistently open the last upload at full size though! Bammesk (talk) 02:22, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Bammesk: Should be fixed. Think I uploaded before it was fully saved. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 02:38, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
