In the negative there is a thumb in the lower right-hand side that was airbrushed out for printing. You can download a high-res (50mb or so) scan of the original neg from the LOC site, including the rebate. Along with Walker Evans, Gordon Parks and other FSA photographers. I have printed many of them and plan a depression era exhibit for my office, so timely now. There is no copyright since the images were U.S. funded. The download for the famous Arthur Rothstein dust storm photo was about 250mb - it must have been from a large print.
