This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Dirt, ink blotches, and similar damage/printing errors fixed (engravings are mass produced, so I see no reason to keep the flaws of a particular copy); text selectively darkened slightly rotated, due to not being in line. etc..
