I've pretty much taken it for granted. The copy of it included with the story below is actually easier to view than the real thing. Hopefully the planned restoration will do some wonders. The photo is currently across campus at the LBJ Library with a Guttenberg Bible and other treasures of the HRC while the HRC is being renovated. The HRC has quite a collection of historical photographic items, but most are not readily available to the public. The renovation in progress is supposed to make more items accessable. The David Douglas Duncan archives are held there as well.
