image restorations

From The Woman Who Mapped Labrador: The Life and Expedition Diary of Mina Hubbard, by Roberta Buchanan, Anne Hart, and Bryan Greene (2005, MQUP).

A nasty crease. As luck would have it, straight across her hand. Which, in the end result, still looks a bit odd. But it looked a bit odd to begin with.


From A Knight in Politics: A Biography of Sir Frederick Borden, by Carman Miller. (2010, MQUP)

Glass plate spots, scratches, dust


From Diagnosing Genius: The Life & Death of Beethoven. (2007, MQUP)

Damaged painting. Probably not an original scan, either.


Portrait of Sir William Dawson (1882), from Sir William C. MacDonald: a Biography, by William Fong. (2007 MQUP)

A fairly typical example of the images we get. I believe this was from the National Archives. Scratches, dust.
