Other versions
This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications:

Colours adjusted more extensively than in main image, to demonstrate what this would look like with a more "Durovian" approach to restoration. Note that, as white paint is used, it's clear the original paper would have been at least grey.

Also, cropped, dirt and damage removed as far as I thought justified: The dirt is authentic, of course but much of the dirt and damage distracted from the work itself..
