They have been optimised to produce the best possible reproduction across the archive within certain limitations encountered due to their age and original printing processes. In a few instances you may find the odd blemish or not so good quality photographs. However, in many instances, the latest scanning techniques used enable you to enjoy electronically produced images that are reproduced to a far better quality than even the original printed magazines.
