The printed title and dialogue are already level; no rotation or resampling was needed. Full drawing, printed title, both dialogue passages and framing rules retained. No enlargement, sharpening, contrast or colour adjustment, retouching, colourization or reconstruction. Natural paper colour and physical show-through retained. The JPEG contains no ICC profile; none was invented. The final crop was independently reproduced from the original pixels.
