Notes

Do not crop the border out, it's clearly part of the artistic intent: This is not an image on yellowed paper, this is a yellow image on white paper.


This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Stitched together from a two-part scan, vignetting from said scan fixed as best as is possible, minor damage restored (as a mass-produced artwork, the goal is slightly more idealised form than with a one-off image), border whitened up a bit (this was apparently on glossy paper, as there was no real paper texture in the scan, just lithographic printing)..
