That's why the are crop marks? Posted by Emperor Wang 8/5/2005 7:23 PM | remove   I dunno, but I think the pic looks better full-sized. Posted by maZe 8/5/2005 7:25 PM | remove   in 1942, if it was for a newspaper, which I think it was according to the cropping marks, well, they wanted to promote the war effort so of course, they wanted as much tanks as possible in the picture and nothing else. So the pic would be more impressive and more "war effort" oriented. Posted by TaP 9/11/2005 2:53 PM | remove   were were the angus shops?
