Stubby also helped when there were found wounded soldiers in no man

Anders says:
My favorite is the Jack Brutus. Sin quality is top notch, it's probably scanned from a book. In 1898, one could easily take sharp pictures, but we see them mostly in poor quality because of publishing quality, or technique was simply miserable. Since then, people have copied the pictures from book to book, instead of using the source. When the scanner directly from the big old glass negatives, the images are as sharp as modern images - often sharper.
