ITEM DESCRIPTION: The photograph is a first generation copy of the Polaroid, made from the original. It's printed on Kodak paper and cut to look like Polaroid. The black lines at the top and bottom of the color part of the photo are not that defined on the actual photo print. For some reason they stand out in the scan, got me as to why? The photo looks much better in person, crisp and clean, like the original. Message me with any questions you might have. Thanks for having a look-see.
