3. In 2010, I oversaw the re-scanning of the plates at extreme high resolution, which allowed thorough analysis of content and condition. The images and discussion presented here are largely a product of that project. As my research advanced, I also uncovered two original prints here in Washington DC that persuasively illustrate the role of the photographs in the broader sphere of international diplomacy.
