This image is actually a 3 year old girl, made as a tin type in 1860. This child lost her hearing at age 5 but grew up to be the wife of a very famous man, Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone. Mr Bell undertook to restore her hearing and in the process ended up inventing the telephone. So now, it's up to you to restore her photograph and give it some nice colors. The best entry will receive an engraved plaque as the winner. Challenge will end in two weeks from today, January 10, 2015, at midnight. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabel_Gardiner_Hubbard

Please post finished images at this size 1224 x 1536 px at 300ppi.
Edit 12-30-2014 Upon closer inspection, please note that what appears to be an object of some sort that starts at the lower right of the subject and continues around the inside of the frame, is actually some kind of damage. This possibly was done in the printing process but who knows. The point is that in mine and others opinion it should be edited out and treated as a repair. Hopefully this hasn't caused any inconvenience. See gedstar's diagram below.
