If you can't see anything discernible from the high resolution scan, there would be no further detail there that a lab would produce either. It has probably been taken with a camera equipped with a low level lens.

None worked, by the time it was large enough to see, it was a big blur with nothing dicernable, to the eye, as a human. Maybe I will try sending it to a professional studio, as was suggested. I just know that the picture is of my ggrandfather's mother, who, of course, I know of no pictures in existence.
