Restoring Vintage Oval "Bubble Glass" Portraits

You've seen them before. This style was all the rage from 1880-1920. These large portraits were actually wet down and then shaped to fit the convex, bubble-shaped glass. This process would invariably "soften" the look of the images, so these photographs were often sketched or drawn over with charcoal and colored paints in an attempt to add clarity and precision to them.

I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to restore some of these unique photographs:

Color changes.

Depending on the decade that the photo was taken, the photo paper and inks used, the climate, and the amount of UV exposure, our photographs often develop color casts. They can turn yellow, red, green, blue, purple, etc.

What they have in common is that they can all be restored.

This photo from a customer is of majestic Glacier National Park, in the Rocky Mountains of Montana.

"Black and white images hold the key to certain emotions that colors can never replicate."

I heard this quote a while back and it always stuck with me. I'm thinking of it again now as I post this gator photograph that I just restored for the folks at UF. This photo was taken 40 years ago at Newnan's Lake. In addition to the ripped and missing areas, it had some nasty water and mold damage. After repairing these issues, I decided to add in the splash at the bottom of the image to balance things out.

Restoring your parents' wedding photo - An incredible gift!
Living in the digital age, we forget that old photos were actually printed on paper. And often the quality of that photo paper was not that good to begin with. Also, we know that moisture, dust, and just touching them will degrade a photo's quality. But did you know that exposure to UV rays from a sunny window can have a profound effect on the chemistry used to produce a photograph, causing colors to fade and shift over time?

Regardless of whether the damage is caused by the sun or moisture - whether it's cracks, spotting, faded colors or mold - with expertise and skill it's possible to restore a photo back to an incredibly clean image with all details intact.

Rescuing your parents' or grandparents' precious photographs is an invaluable act of love and appreciation. It also makes an amazing gift, so get an early jump on the holidays and get in touch with us. We can help!

Why I love my job!
This customer's husband used to race cars at Gator Nationals in Gainesville. This old Pinto was one of his favs, and she wanted to bring the pic back to its original color and have all of the tears repaired. It's such a pleasure to get to meet all of these interesting people and hear their stories! Thanks Pat!
