Are you claiming the picture (No. 5) you (?) provided to ATS that is posted at the beginning of this thread is also a scan from an “original” 16” x 20” negative (or more accurately a contact print made from one) like you are claiming for LO2-H162-3 (Nos. 1–4)
Welcome AD. It seems to me that the original 'contact' prints of the negatives were negative images. That was the problem. Several years later I found someone that could make positives of the negatives and I don't believe they were 'contact' prints. I could be wrong. But if you remove your comment that is in parentheses from your question the answer is yes.
Or did you scan it from somewhere else like a book?
No.
Also, are you claiming your (?) copy of 5-115M has been “retouched”.
I don't have a copy of V-115M but if you are referring to V-155: yes.
whereas for example this recent scan by the USGS of the same frame was not?
Am I supposed to know something about this recent scan of the USGS of the same frame? Please enlighten me! Thanks.
