Other Information - Related Images

Other Information - Related Images: Bell does not distinguish between 1998.285.124 and 1998.285.125 and both can be referenced from the List of Illustrations by the entry for H.107. However, 1998.285.124 seems to be a re-photograph of a print taken from 1998.285.125, slightly cropped at both sides and zoomed in. The contact print for 1998.285.124 is slightly grainier.
