The caption is printed directly on the photograph. Mounted on black archival paper. Measures approximately 6 x 7⅜ inches overall. Shows expected age, toning, handling wear and newsroom/archive use, with visible old tape and mounting residue. This photo came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
