- The photo used for the main scan is in the photo file along with 2 photocopies.
Condition reports are as follow:
Copy 1 - (0121ph) - possibly has a bit of water damage, fairly fragile, some loss of contrast and very brown toned (this is what we took the digital copy of)
Copy 2 - Oversize (0121ph_OS) - some spotting on photo, fairly faded with a yellow tone – not a lot of contrast to photo
Copy 3 - Oversize (0122ph) - very dirty and stained; mounting is completely ripped and frayed; the contrast is pretty bad on this photo as well.
