This
version of the photo is a digitally restored version I have
been working on for a while.
I scanned the original glass plate, which is about 7"x5"
in size, at very high resolution, and carefully removed all
dust marks, scratches, etc.
Because the top-left corner of the plate was damaged, I carefully
masked off the sky area of the photo, cutting round the tops
of all the buildings, which then allowed me to experiment adding
skies from other photographs.
Finally, I moved the hand written caption to a more suitable
location.
I
intend to have prints made from this file by a new process,
whereby a laser is used to expose special photographic paper
that has very good fade resistance properties. The image file
is of sufficient size and quality that I expect to be able to
produce prints up to around 16"x12".
