Make a small, low-resolution old photo print-ready

№ 72

№ The prompt

Upscale this small, low-resolution old photo to a larger, print-ready size. Smooth the pixelation and clean up compression artefacts on detail that is genuinely present, and keep edges natural. Do not reconstruct or invent facial features, textures, or background detail that the original is too small to actually contain — where a region is unrecoverable, keep it soft rather than fabricating sharp detail. The result should be a faithful, larger version of the same photo.
