Latest Photo Restorations
The Neptune Fountain in Berlin, Germany in 1903; it has since been restored and moved to another part of the city. That makes this photo historically important!
Guernsey Cow on Holly Beach, New Jersey in 1895. Holly Beach is now Wildwood. Does anyone know why a farmer would take his cattle to the beach? Oh wait, I think one is wearing a two piece.
Passengers on an Observation Car, Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, c. 1915. A clue to identifying this was the newspaper being read by the passenger at the right. When I scanned and enlarged the image, it directed me in the research!
As I've note before, these are tedious to restore and ready for publication, but knowing that most are one-of-a-kind makes it a labor of love.

Great photos AMac keep em coming!!
Am I being boycotted or somethin'?
Not sure, why you want to be?
Hardly Mac. We're simply running out of superlatives to describe your work, so we just sit back and enjoy it. After all, how many times can we say "super job" before it loses meaning? You can safely bet, though, that we're out here watching and that we love it. You're bringing a great deal of enjoyment to those of us who like old pictures, even if we don't comment much. The cow seems to be wearing one of those fur bikinis that I've heard about.
Once again Mac, there are few words left to describe the wonderful restoration work that your doing, on these one of a kind photos.
Keep them coming my friend.
Walking the cows in salt water will help heal any injuries to their hoofs and legs. It's done with horses all the time.
Not hardly my friend. This is the first time I've seen this article. Besides that, I like mixed photos and these are exceptional as they always seem to be. Even when flipping the channels I spend a little more time when I see something is in black and white.
It's like the old barns here in NC. Some are falling down and some soon to fall down. I like to take pictures when I do of this old pieces of history.
Many thanks I should have thought of that myself so I'm glad you did and shared the info.
TTGA,
Since most of these restored images are one-of-a-kind I just want them to be seen and enjoyed as widely as possible. To my knowledge, once rendered on emulsions on glass, no other prints (as on paper) were produced. I can't say this with certainty, but the source of the 800-1000 Magic Lantern slides I now own, had no prints whatsoever.
Educated speculation.
