Here is a picture of the front doors to an old theatre in 1938. The cameraman was standing directly in front of the theatre. In the glass of the doors you can see 2 men, on the left and the right, watching the cameraman in the window between them. The 2 men are pretty clea but the cameraman is very dark and indistinquishable. Can you make the cameraman visible?

You got the idea. I think it is just amazing what little nuggets can be found in old photos. What a shame that cameraman isn't clearer.

Duplicated the layer and tried inverting the colors on the dup.Then ran curves on the darkest spot and set the layer mode to hard light.About as good as i could get it.You might be able to get better results defining the edges.

This one's a little better.I think that's as good as it gets with curves anyways. =)
It is interesting to uncover things like this though.
