thats right. the peoples version, the small digital file size advertising version, had just enough appeal to draw interest to these more detailed versions and get them sold. thats the point really that in the age of mechanical reproduction there is a great deal of nuance to various iterations. the internet (web exclusive) versions are only one dimensional (surface - non-object - virtual - free.) the cropped vintage print is a full on object. the negative is an object, but a tool in an interim stage, not an artifact for contemplation other than evaluating its state of repair.
