The image appeared on the cover of Walker Evans
(MoMA, 1971). The print is made with quadtone carbon
black pigments laid onto all rag acid free paper via microscopic
jets. Critical adjustments to the digital files allow details in the
shadows and in the brightest areas of a photograph to be held,
which was not possible to attain in the past.
