- Support Honour to whom honour is due: The photo was taken by Yoichi Okamoto, the LBJ Library has scanned it, Bammesk has uploaded and restored it. A thoughtful composition with the Manhattan skyline as background, the desk parallel to it and the star-spangled banner at the right (too bad the flag does not fly in the wind ;–), the people are for the most part well-arranged. Okamoto manages to portray the signing of the Immigration Act as a combination of historical event and joyful social event. The technical quality is good (although I suppose a good technician could have brightened the faces of the people at the edge a little in the darkroom), the scan is OK. --Aristeas (talk) 09:12, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
