The Snapshots in Time Collection
Deteriorated WWII-Era Negative, Partial Portrait of Man in Garrison Cap and Sunglasses — Japanese Captured Recon Photo Collection
Time and moisture have taken their toll on this WWII-era negative from a collection of Japanese-captured reconnaissance photographs. Though heavily damaged by mold and emulsion loss, the faint image of a man in a garrison cap and sunglasses survives, a reminder of the fragility of wartime photographic records and the challenges of archival preservation.
