Paper Trails

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.

Black-and-white newspaper photograph of workers handling the patterned covering of an articulated giraffe exhibition figure.
The saved crop. The full-page link is in the comments.

Found the page. Davenhall Chronicle, 22 June 1957. The right-hand side is there.

Thank you. That's the one I wanted. I've put the link with the file this time.

Looks like canvas to me. I don't think you're looking at an animal being skinned. The folds are all going in the same direction.

There are at least two printed dots in the man's sleeve. Might be a newspaper picture rather than a glossy photograph. Can you tell whether that dark strip at the bottom is type?

The bottom strip is part of the crop, unfortunately. Zooming just gives larger dots. I found a second copy but it was this file with more contrast.

I think it is bigger than the platform in the background makes it look. The person is standing on something. I keep trying to put the floor in the wrong place.
