A note about wire service photos: Wire service photos from the 1970s/1980s/1990s are *not* traditional glossy photos. They were transmitted electronically to magazines and newspapers around the world and then printed out on special thermal paper printers in the newsroom. Associated Press wire photos of this era have a sepia tone to them due to the chemicals used in printing; the image converts to a nice black and white when scanned. United Press International wire photos are whiter and brighter; the thermal paper they’re printed on is thinner than the crisper AP paper stock, almost like fax paper
