This image was created in a film camera by a photographer for the Los Angeles Herald-Express. The film was developed in a darkroom at that newspaper, and a bright white light projected a negative version of the image onto a sheet of light-sensitive paper, which was immersed in a bath of chemicals. The resulting action allowed the image to appear on the sheet of paper in the form of silver oxide. Then this sheet of paper, called a "print," was copied by an enormous lens camera through a mesh screen and the image fixed onto a metal plate, which was locked into a chase and then transferred through heavy pressure to a matrix, which was curved and into which liquid metal was poured. The resulting cast was attached to a rotary press, and ink was applied to this curved cast, and a spinning action transferred this ink to newsprint, which, of course, transferred the image to the newsprint as well. At some point this printed image, along with an accompanying news story, was scissored out of the newspaper and added to a file folder in the Los Angeles Public Library. Much later, this newspaper clipping was removed from the folder and electronically scanned and the resulting digital information made available over the Internet to people with LAPL cards. The copyright to the original image was held by the Hearst newspapers, the employer of all the people who worked to bring the image to the reader. The Hearst organization has since transferred all of its photographic files to the University of Southern California. If you need any further information, just ask.
