A 19th century couple

This is one of my favorite 19th century portraits, an unknown couple. Just look at the expression on the woman's face! She is clearly sick of the whole business of sitting for a portrait.

This was one of my biggest cleanup jobs yet - I've been working on it sporadically for months. Below is the version I was working from, a real mess. Clearly I could have spent more time working on it, but I've had enough!

Hershey family, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 1907

[I wonder if the gentleman is Milton Hershey, who gave the world the "Hershey bar".

Comparing this with the picture at the link, I can't tell. On second look, they can't be the same,
because the photo at the link was taken in 1905, and he is clearly older than the fellow above.
Maybe they're at least related?]
