  • Thank you for linking the PDF Michael, it provides a good chance to see what I suspect may well disappear from public view.

    Are the 'swirl' marks on some of the images really on the pictures ? or are they just a result of the catalog reproduction?  If they are really on the pictures I wonder about the cause... storage, or as a result of an original printing problem?  Its almost if they were wiped at some point. 

    A wonderful collection of portraits.
