Yes, the photo is exquisite, in composition as in tone - let alone the subject and setting. I didn't think about the printing quality as it just didn't enter my mind. But that alone must show you that in my eyes there is absolutely no flaw. Great job! Ofcourse I googled Matteson after receiving the book since I didn't know him before. I'm glad the negatives survived, but no original print? They must be scattered across the Americas I guess. I presume there will be a broader interest in his work also. Are there any plans for his Baracoan/Cuban work to be published as a whole? Hi Phillips, nice to hear from you.

I am happy that you are impressed by the quality of the image. Matteson made the negative in 1904 during his 4 months there.
