Italian Steamer Monginevro built in 1906 - 6x9 print
This print was made from a negative that was taken with a Graflex rollback 52 yielding a negative 5.5 x 3.245 inches. I put the negative in my 4x5 enlarger and lost a little off of both ends of the negative. In this case more off of the right side. I bought the negative on ebay a couple of years ago.
