Sigismund Engelking portrait - repair attempt

Found at an antique store badly faded and covered with fungus spots. This is my (so far) best attempt to repair it. It's a sloppy rush job and I'm not happy with it, but at least Mr. Engelking is visible now. The original was claimed and returned to a family member back around April 2017.

Date & Place: 1869 in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas USA

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here. If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.
