- Many thanks to all those who have responded to my initial
- query about the mystery photo. To recap:
-
- I bought a photo in an antique shop this summer which had
- been printed on a postcard back - it was never mailed so
- it has no message or postmark. It's an interesting picture,
- showing an antique car and a couple of men, one of who MAY
- be handcuffed. I'd estimate this photo was taken perhaps
- 1910 - 1925.
-
- If you can identify the car, license plate, or tell whether
- the man is really handcuffed, please drop me a line with your
- opinion.
-
- You can find it via anonymous ftp on ftp.cse.nau.edu in the directory
- "Pub/Geo" as "carr2.gif". This machine is also known as sunset.cse.nau.edu
- (134.114.64.70).
-
- In response to suggestions from those looking at the first
- version, I've HEAVILY enhanced certain critical portions of
- this version - much more so than would normally be done - both
- with contrast and sharpness (to the point of introducing noise).
-
- Due to the added detail - it's big - about 675K in 256 gray scale
- gif format.
-
- THANKS!
