I have been bequeathed a framed photograph of my grandmother as a child taken in 1920. It is in it's original frame with brown paper holding the photo in at the back of the frame. There are many family members who would like a copy made, but I am unsure where to take the photo to ensure that neither the photo or the frame are damaged. I live near King's Lynn in Norfolk, but am willing to travel (within reason) to find the right person for the job.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be very grateful.

scan it into your computer and then print as many copies as you like

If you have a digital camera you can photograph them yourself. The higher the resolution of your camera and the higher the file size the better your image will come out. Place your photo on a flat surface, if you have a tripod this will help to stay steady the camera. Make sure your camera is level and you fill at least 98% of your frame of the picture. You can do this outside but not in direct sunlight, use the north side of your house since the light will stay constant. Use the lowest ISO the camera will do and set the camera at lets say 1/60th of a second at F~8 and take a test shot to see what your image looks like now make any adjustments that you need to get an average balance. Try and match all of your prints (8x10s, then 5x7s etc) this way you will not have to re-adjust the zoom so much. Same way if you have B&W do them then your color and check exposure as you go. When you are done you can move them into a photo editing software and touch up any spots that might have been on the photo. You can now send these out to get printed. Hope this helps, Kevin

God's own county, come originally from Sunny Hunny myself, not the caravan end! Now my daughter is an RAF photographer. They have all the latest kit, provided by us tax payers, for photographic reproduction and enhancement. The training these people get is second to none. You have two options, contact your nearest RAF base and ask for the photographic section. They all do private work, quite legitimately, as it is seen as a continuation of their training and enhancement of their skills, or alternatively send me a letter with your contact details and I will pass it on to my daughter. She will have to remove the photo from the frame, however there is no reason why either the frame or photo should be damaged and when the job is done, the photo will be re-mounted in the frame for you.
The address to write to is Aston Firs, 42 Halton Fenside, Nr. Spilsby, Lincs. PE23 5BD. My daughter is based at RAF Wadington, just outside Lincoln.

Any photographer's studio can and will do that for you. I had one taken in 1906 of my mother and all four of her siblings. It was faded and badly ripped. The studio restored the photo, mended the rip, enlarged it, and then made a couple of reproductions (copies) for me. I treasure that photo as I am sure you will. I don't remember the cost, but it was well worth every penny!!
Good luck!!!

Any independant photographers will be able to make a negative and then as many copies as you want. Look in Yell.com for independant photographers in your own area.

be carefull if you take it to a photography shop as i did once you go there they own the copyright to the negative and you have to get all your prints from them so try to get it done on a computer by a friend or some one then they can save the image to disc and give it to you and then you can print as many as you want hope this helpd good luck

Go to the local photo shop. They have professionals there that can get the job done. That is of course their job.

Most local film developers will have a lab they can send it too.
I might be worth making a few calls locally

take it to any photographers or printer, as long as it does not have a copy right stamp/ photographers stamp on back - should not be a problem.
