Paper Trailsanyone got the full version of this picture
This has been sitting in a folder called scans2 since I moved everything off the old computer. The right edge is cut off and I don't have the caption.
Someone appears to be holding a replacement skin or cover. The person by the front leg looks smaller than I first thought, so I can't work out the scale. Is it from a newspaper, or a workshop brochure?
I'm looking for the whole page, not a sharpened version of this crop. Every copy I've found has the same missing corner.
Paper Trailsit was under lost animals in the older edition
Two editions of the same illustrated book. The earlier one has the giraffe in the lost animals. The later one has a photograph and calls it an animal from a collection. Both pages.

Paper Trailsthe pattern deserves its own argument
The old pattern argument sent me back to this photograph. Look at the shoulder. They're lifting off an entire section with the spots still on it.
Does anyone have a photograph of this one after it went on display?

Someone had to match the spots across that shoulder. I'd like to see it after they finished.

The fold is clearer in the full photograph. The edge turns under his hand.

Edwin Voss is right there in the article. Somehow I missed the only actual name while zooming in on the wagon.

The giraffe doesn't need to look very convincing from that distance. Most of it is behind canvas.
