Interpretive description

It appears that Paul Foelsche took the original copy of this photograph but it has been reproduced many times since that time. PH0297/0032 is more closely cropped than the image reproduced in Searcy's book. D002928 is out of focus and a different cropping to the Searcy's reproduction. PH0002/0036 has a similar cropping to Searcy's reproduction.
