Dear Laura J. Quackenbush,
        Which is more important? The image on the photograph or the Photograph.
        I have over the years obtained photo copies of long out of print books,
as the documintation of the work I do.
        Now many people view the original book tho be of great value, and I
would not argue at all with that.
        But it information in the book is what was/is of value to me,
regardless of how that information is stored.
        If you are a Historical Msueum, then I would assume both the image and
the photograph are of value. But if you can not possess the photograph
is not the posesion of the image and the ablity to show it to the public
of the gretest value?
