Hi Ken,

I've found that, in the genealogy field, many people just "scan", without 
regard for quality.  This scan was given to me, so I had no influence on the 
technique used.  But, for me, it was better than having no image at 
all........................

I suspect it was scanned from a "drug store" print, from the 1930s.
