This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: This image comes from after the rise of half-toning. It was scanned at 1200 dpi, a Gaussian blur (radius 5, I believe) was applied, and the image shrunk by a factor of 9 (going by area). Levels were adjusted against the original artwork. It was also cropped and rotated..
