I have a daguerreotype that is showing signs of deterioration in the last 11 years.  

I have posted a screen shot of 2 scans made 11 years apart of this dag. The scan on the right is the recent scan and shows some kind of deterioration happening on the face of the subject. Any tips on restoring this image?  Since it has been hand colored I'm not too hopeful but thought I'd check here for suggestions.


Thanks

Eric
