Needs some restoration

[edit]

Thanks to Fpo who uploaded this combined version, but there's a little more that I was hoping would get done with this. Specifically, you may notice that at the seams, the images are not aligned quite correctly. One of the images seems to be skewed; if you align them towards the bottom of the image (see the Fairbanks Canning Co. at the end of W. 44th street, stuff above it goes out of alignment. This is readily apparent with the factory roof just above it, and becomes even more apparent with the cattle pens, rail lines and yard slip at the most extreme top parts of the map. Furthermore, there are the seams where the map was probably folded over and faded, and thus didn't scan. Anyway, just some thoughts. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 18:25, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
