This is new to me. I know nothing about it beyond what is visible. It has contents, a letter written on Chinese native paper. The address was written in pencil, and though I have darkened the image I cannot read it. It was sent to Freiburg. The received mark on the reverse is dated December 24, 1900.

What can you tell me about this cover?Image Not Found

re: Boxer Rebellion Cover

Would you be able to post a hi-resolution jpg of the cover without darkening? I'd love to play around with this and see what we can find

re: Boxer Rebellion Cover

Picture size limitations on posts in the Discussion Board will prevent the posting of a high resolution image.

If you want to do this, you will have to do it directly via email, or save the image somewhere on the internet and post a link to it.

re: Boxer Rebellion Cover

The size limitations are always a challenge, but scanning at a 600 DPI, and using something like FastStone to reduce image size works fine for this type of work

re: Boxer Rebellion Cover

Once you reduce the image size, it is no longer "high resolution" as far as display on the Internet is concerned.

No problem, I won't assist. I have no time for pedantic semantics. You know full well what I mean. Something zoomable!!

This is an interesting challenge:
I think only at a Forensic Lab you'll be able to see--perhaps--the obliterated text scribbled on that old envelope.

I'm not able to improve the image much with my old picture editor. Image Not Found
