 * Comment We can do better. It looks like this is a restoration of the original: (which has much higher resolution). I'll take a shot at producing a better restoration.   Jujutacular  T · C 00:25, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * One interesting thing did come up through restoration. You'll notice on the library of congress information page about the print it lists the state letters: "S.C., N.C., V., M., R., N.J., N.Y., [and] N.E.". At first I thought - what does the 'R' stand for? Rhode Island? On closer inspection however, there is a brown smudge on that letter, forming it into an 'R'. It was originally a 'P', which I assume stands for Pennsylvania.  Jujutacular  T · C 18:18, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
