Not it's not an MS-67 1932-D, but I think it's a good picture of the subject available :-). Increasing aperture to f/5 decreased distortion, and the diffusers made the lighting easier to manage. And with the low-wattage lamps you things like small pieces of vellum paper stapled to itself around the head of the lamp and not worrying about it burning up, which is a good thing too

Philately will get you nowhere....
