Notes on this view:

The mount indicates this image is made on Anscochrome film. Before WWII, the U.S. photographic manufacturing company called Ansco (part of General Aniline and Film Corporation, or GAF) was affiliated the German parent company of Agfa. In 1936 Agfa released the first internal dye coupler film to the European market and Ansco Color in the U.S. in 1938. During WWII the U.S. government took over Ansco and all film produced went to the U.S. and Allied forces. After the war, the product was renamed Anscochrome and made available to the public. Although Agfa held patents on the product, British and American Intelligence published detailed reports on the manufacturing methods of Agfa products, which in turn allowed manufacturers world-wide to produce their own Agfacolor-type products.
