Nice picture, but still missing the ‘crispness’ of the alleged Barry pic, IMO.
I’ve scanned a fair number of old black and white photos to digital. The scanner can be set to scan the photo as a very large image. What I usually do to increase the crispness / quality of the old image is to reduce the size (say from 3000 plus pixels horizontally to 640 pixels) but will set a high resolution such as 300 dpi, minimum print quality, for the photo before I use another program to create a jpg for the web. In the process of creating a jpeg, you can retain a high resolution or reduce it at that point. Either way, it produces a very crisp or vastly improved image. The photo of Barry and the kid is fairly high res. It has 200 pixels per inch whereas the usual jpeg has 72.
(Sorry if this turns out to be repeat info by the time I finish reading the thread. If I don’t comment now, I’ll end up not doing so.)
