This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: levels adjustment, dirt removal, etc, some fixing of tears around the edge of the image, though not extensive - I felt that a few signs of age work well in something like this. Further edit: warm colour cast removed..
